HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas State Fair Board met Tuesday via Zoom to give approval to a Community Service Tax Credit Program application put in by the Kansas State Fair and supporting parties to help with fundraising for renovating the Encampment Building.
"Skills USA has a network of schools throughout the state of Kansas," Berger said. "They have been very forthcoming as far as letters of support for the project. Certainly, I'll ask for a letter of support from the chair of the board, as well. It again, is something that provides real incentive for private investment in a project that I think we need to see happen."
The award would provide $250,000 in tax credits to those who donate.
"The application period ends April 30 and then the committee reviews the month of May and then will make recommendations in June, with the intention to notify by July 1," said Kayla Savage with the Department of Commerce.
The fair board's next meeting will be May 11.
