SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Governor Laura Kelly today announced six Kansas communities, including South Hutchinson, have secured nearly $5 million in federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) Program. 

Combined with more than $1 million in matching funds from the Kansas Infrastructure Hub and Build Kansas Fund toward two of the projects and local matching dollars, the total investment in Kansas for this round of SS4A grants totals more than $6.2 million.

“Leveraging federal dollars to supplement our state and local investments into critical infrastructure is vital to economic growth,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “The Safe Streets and Roads for All program ensures that our communities have the resources to build, operate, or maintain critical infrastructure. I appreciate the Legislature's continued support of this initiative as it is a true bipartisan win for Kansas."

South Hutchinson was awarded for a Transportation Safety Action Plan. Local funding was $35,000, with $140,000 in federal funds awarded for a total of $175,000.
