(KNZA)--The Doniphan County Commission has approved providing matching funds to the Mo-Kan Regional Council for the Safe Streets and Roads for All grant program.

Representatives of the Mo-Kan Regional Council met with the Commission at their February 24 meeting to discuss the grant program.

Mo-Kan qualified for the federal grant program on a regional basis, with a required match of $20,000.

Mo-Kan Executive Director Trevor Tutt said they would divide the required match across all five counties within their service region.

According to the unofficial meeting minutes, he asked Doniphan County for $4,000 in matching funds.

Once the match has been secured, Tutt said a safety action plan is developed and projects from the plan used to apply for grant funding. Each contributing county would submit projects.
