Leavenworth County commissioners have voted to provide $240,538 in funding for design work for a Lansing sewer extension project.
Commissioners approved the funding when they met Wednesday.
Lansing City Administrator Tim Vandall said the project could help spur development of additional properties along the Kansas 7 Highway corridor by extending sewer service farther south to McIntyre Road.
Vandall said city officials anticipate engineering costs for the design work will total about $500,000. He said the project may not be designed until 2023 or 2024.
“But once designed, this project will make the sewer line shovel ready and it would jumpstart the developability of properties in the area,” he said.
