Council will be asked to support Amtrak expansion

Posted Jun 13, 2021 11:14 AM

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — It is a light agenda for the Hutchinson City Council when it meets Tuesday.

One of only two action items is action on a resolution in support of Amtrak's planned expansion of service from Oklahoma City to Newton. Amtrak wants to extend the Heartland Flyer route and the city will be asked to throw its support to the proposal.

The other item is a revision to the city code regarding the building contractors, and the way they are licensed and registered within the city. The revision came at the request of developer Jim Strawn, who went before the Building Trades Board.

The council will also get an update on the Cow Creek drainage project, which should get into full swing later this summer.

Tuesday’s meeting of the Hutchinson City Council begins at 9 a.m. at the Hutchinson city offices.
