Check back often for the latest information on North Central Kansas’ approach to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and potential funding opportunities for the region.
Background
The NCRPC Community Development Department, in a coordinated effort with Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), organized a Round Table Discussion on August 16, 2022 in Salina, Kansas. The discussion centered around the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) and the additional grant opportunities it brings to Kansas and our region. The primary goals of the round table were to increase understanding, identify key projects for regional efforts, and determine next steps with partners. KDOT highly recommends taking a broader/regional approach on grant applications as those will be ranked higher than applications focusing on individual cities or territories.
