Great Bend Economic Development continues to work with their board,
architects and childcare consultants to finalize the planning for a new 4,500
square-foot daycare center.
Economic Development Director Sara Arnberger said their committee has gone to
weekly meeting times and hope to send their plan adaptation to the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment for review by the end of this week.
"I am happy to see this progress to the point that it has," said Arnberger. "It certainly has taken some time, but we're getting a pretty cool product in the end I believe."
The $1.6 million group daycare will be located on Farmers Plaza Lane, just
south of 10th Street near the K-96 Highway intersection. The daycare
will serve up to 59 children and is anticipated to be the first of multiple
daycares built around Barton County.
