From Wheatland Electric Cooperative Inc...
GREAT BEND–Wheatland Electric Cooperative Inc., is providing $5,000 to Great Bend Economic Development to assist with a local housing study.
As a member-owned cooperative, Wheatland Electric is guided by several cooperative principles, including concern for community. This principle encourages us to work toward the sustainable development of the communities we serve.
The housing assessment, which will be completed by RDG Planning & Design, a national firm, is designed to encourage affordable, safe housing in the Great Bend community.
The study, which will cost approximately $10,000 total, will take at least 60-90 days to complete, according to Sara Hayden, president of Great Bend Economic Development.
The City of Great Bend is covering the remaining $5,000 cost of the housing assessment, which is set to begin in late February or early March.
