## Resource

Wichita’s District One is getting a major makeover thanks to a new $600K improvement fund, spearheaded by Councilman Joseph Shepard. Designed to revitalize streets, support local businesses, and add art and greenery, the fund targets the city’s poorest zip code — 67214 — aiming to tackle vacant lots and economic stagnation. Already $100K secured, the initiative will be managed by the Wichita Community Foundation, with local advisory board approval for grants. Shepard’s vision?
