(KNZA)--Doniphan Counnty plans to seek a state grant again for an ADA modification project at the county courthouse.
No public comment was received during a hearing at Monday's Doniphan County Commission meeting on the county's intent to resubmitted an application to the Kansas Department of Commerce for a Community Development Block grant.
The county tried unsuccessfully last year for the grant.
The project would add an ADA accessible ramp to the south side of the courthouse.
The new ramp would replace the current electrical lift, which has faced technical and weather-related challenges. The project would allow individuals to access the courthouse independently.
The total cost of the project is estimated at $487,510. If the grant is awarded, the county would provide $84,252 in matching funds.
