Meeting will focus on transportation priorities in north central Kansas
The Kansas Department of Transportation is hosting nine meetings in October as part of the Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE) Local Consult process. KDOT holds Local Consult meetings every two years to discuss regional transportation project priorities with Kansans.
The fifth meeting will be in Salina and focus on transportation in north central Kansas (KDOT District 2). It will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. – noon, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Salina.
Those who attend will have an opportunity to share their region’s transportation priorities, hear about more investments being made in transportation and learn about various grant funding programs available through KDOT. The meeting is open to the public.
This event in north central Kansas is part of the series of meetings being held across the state and is an important step in collecting public input for the IKE program – the state’s current 10-year transportation improvement program.
