Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce, David Toland, has announced the Kansas Department of Commerce has awarded $758,250 in Community Development Block Grant, or CDBG funding to three Kansas communities: Burlingame, Lyon County and Overbrook. He says the projects not only enhance the appearance and functionality of commercial spaces but also contribute to the success and sustainability of local economies. Overbrook will receive $158,250. The building is a corner lot along U. S. 56 highway which will be developed into a walk-up ice cream shop, situated across from the community pool.
The CDBG Commercial Rehabilitation program provides funding to assist private property owners in rehabilitating blighted structures in downtown districts.
