From: Kansas Governor Laura Kelly

Governor Kelly Announces More Than $40M for 33 Bridge Projects Across Kansas

“My administration is committed to improving Kansas’ transportation system, including city-and county-owned bridges in need of overdue repairs. These bridge programs demonstrate how, by fostering partnerships among all levels of government, we can build a robust, responsive infrastructure system that provides efficient and safe transportation routes and boosts state and local economies.”

Governor Kelly Announces Over $23M to Expand Broadband in Rural Kansas

“By connecting nearly 4,200 more Kansas homes, businesses, and schools to high-speed internet, we’re continuing to deliver on our goal of giving every Kansan a connection to the world. This funding knocks down a barrier for Kansans looking to participate in the digital economy, access telemedicine, and take advantage of online education.” 

Governor Kelly Pledges to Focus on Water

“We’re going to have to ensure that Kansans, for generations to come, have access to clean water. It is my plan during my second term to convene water users around the same table... to develop a long-term strategy for water quantity and quality, insuring that we have water.”
