Posted Mar 29, 2020 11:40 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners will hold their regular meeting on Tuesday.

The board will take action on an incentive package for Superior Boiler. The Hutchinson company is expanding and will bring its Richmond, Virginia, plant to Hutchinson. The move will bring about 52 new jobs to the area over a four-year period.

The incentive package totals about $78,000. The City Council recently approved a similar package.

Also, the commission will approve the consent agenda, which includes a letter of support for a cost-sharing grant with KDOT. The grant would be used to help fund the Arlington Road bridge project. The 200-foot span is located on the west side of Arlington and is an important connecting road between K-61 and K-14.

The estimated cost of the project is $1,250,000. The county is asking KDOT for half of the cost.

Tuesday’s Reno County Commission meeting is set for 9 a.m. at the Reno County Courthouse. The meeting can be viewed on renogov.org.
