Now That’s Rural: Carolyn Dunn, port authority (Stafford Co.)
Huck Boyd National Institute for Rural Development. “Let’s go to the port.” If that calls to mind a big harbor full of ships and seagulls, think again.

Today we’ll learn about a rural Kansas county that is using a port authority to support railroad infrastructure so as to benefit the local economy.

Central KS Community Corrections utilizing evidence-based approach
Central Kansas Community Corrections Director Amy Boxberger closed a presentation at Wednesday's Barton County Commission meeting with a thought: Why do some choose the more difficult road? And why is it assumed everyone always sees two roads? That summed up a new theory behind the state's approach to community corrections. Boxberger detailed some of those changes.
Stafford County Port Authority planning new construction in 2023
A port is not a canal, it's not water. As Stafford County Port Authority (SCPA) Board President Carolyn Dunn explains, "At its essence, it's public infrastructure that allows transportation to occur." On the plains of Stafford County, that port is a transload rail facility and loop that could handle full-size unit grain trains of more than 100 cars. The Kansas legislature authorized the creation of the port authority in 2014, and with grant deadlines approaching, the SCPA is hoping to begin construction near St. John later this fall. The ultimate goal is creating more jobs and pumping an estimated $7-9 million annually into the local economy.

After missing the last two years due to COVID-19, the local Pheasants Forever chapter is proud to announce the return of the Wounded Warrior Hunt later this month.
