Love, Kansas initiative has Hutch as pilot community
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas Department of Commerce launched an initiative called Love, Kansas at an event in Manhattan on Monday. "It really came out of the recognition that our department of commerce had done some work to see, I think 79 of the 105 counties in Kansas have lost population since 2020," said Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce CEO Debra Teufel. "That's just a downward trend that we have to battle every day as we're losing population. How do we get then people to go into jobs? Really at the grassroots level, ask people who live here, who have graduated from here to reach out to their past classmates that maybe have moved away from Kansas and invite them to come back and tell them the good things happening here and why they might want to consider moving back to Kansas. That really is a grassroots effort, but they have asked several pilot communities across the state to be a part of it."
