TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- The half cent sales tax has proved to be useful when it comes to fixing infrastructure in Shawnee County, according to the Shawnee Co. Public Works Director.
Following the August 6 JEDO finance committee meeting, Chairman Tom Vlach said fixing Southwest 21st Street from Urish to Indian Hills Road is the only project remaining that will be funded by the current half cent sales tax.
Vlach said that currently there is about six million dollars in the budget, and the SW 21st Street project is expected to cost about four million.
He added that funds will also continue to be deposited into the account and excess funds will be divided between Shawnee County, Topeka, Auburn, Silver Lake and Rossville.
Shawnee County Commissioners have already committed excess funds towards reconstruction of the Willard Bridge.
