The Kansas Department of Transportation announced Aug. 8 that it will provide $4.5 million in funding for construction of the Garden City transload facility.
The facility will load and unload cargo between railcars and trucks. Garden City and Great Bend were chosen out of 111 proposals to develop transload shipping centers last year by the Transload Facility Site Analysis Selection Committee, which included public and private sector representatives.
In February, KDOT committed $3 million to the Great Bend project.
