## Resource

Wakarusa Drive Extension faces delays as federal land and environmental review requirements push the timeline back two years—now aiming for bids by November 2028 and completion by end of 2030—to avoid a $9M penalty to Kansas DOT. Commissioners also tackle crisis care coordination, Summerfest drone show plans, and new public works equipment. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
