(KAIR)--The City of Holton and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation will share a portion of $11 million awarded to 14 transportation construction projects as part of the Kansas Fall 2022 Cost Share Program.

According to a release from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, the Cost Share program was founded in 2019 as part of the Kelly Administration’s 10-year, bipartisan Eisenhower Legacy Transportation Program (IKE). By leveraging both state and local dollars to fund community transportation projects, Cost Share improves safety, supports job retention and growth, relieves congestion, and increases access and mobility in rural and urban areas.

$225,720 of the total funding is earmarked for the City of Holton, with the release saying it will be used for Banner Road Improvements.

$1.5 million is headed to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, with the release explaining that the funds will be used for the 158th Street Full Depth Replacement.

According to the release, for each project, cities and counties match state funding 50/50, bringing the total investment for the latest Cost Share round to $22 million.
