RDA board to discuss future operations during Friday s monthly meeting
The Regional Development Association of East Central Kansas Board of Directors has its monthly meeting Friday.
The board will focus much of its time on future operations, with discussions planned on small business development, entrepreneurship and grant writing services. Internal controls policy is a separate talking point.
The meeting begins at 7 am at the Trusler Business Center.
A $6.8 million development project on a portion of the DeBauge-Krueger tract, near 18th Avenue and Graphic Arts Road, passed the first round of approval from the Regional Development Association, Friday morning.
The development would bring in a QuikTrip convenience store and development of a new access road connecting quicker access to Interstate 35, the Kansas Turnpike and US Highway 50.Â
RDA President Kent Heermann said the development would take up about 10 acres of the 70-acre property tract, located just west of Flint Hills Technical College. A new access road would be constructed at the first entrance to FHTC and the Jones Education Center on Graphic Arts Road, down to I-35.Â
