Governor Laura Kelly today announced nine short line rail maintenance and rehabilitation projects are being awarded nearly $5 million as part of the Kansas Department of Transportation's Short Line Rail Improvement Fund (SLRIF) program.
"These nine rail improvement projects will strengthen Kansas' agriculture supply chain, connecting our farmers and ranchers to regional, national, and international markets," Governor Laura Kelly said. "My administration will continue to invest in needed and commonsense infrastructure improvements like these to maximize our state's economic potential."
