The Winfield Area Chamber of Commerce and Cowley First are co-hosting a visit from Kansas Lt. Governor Lynn Rogers on Monday, July 8, as a part of his Office of Rural Prosperity Listening Tour, according to a press release.
The community is invited to attend a Community Conversation with the Lt. Governor at 5:30 p.m. to share your vision for the future of Kansas. This event will be held at the community center at Baden Square, 700 Gary Street, in Winfield.
The Office of Rural Prosperity is dedicated to improving life in rural Kansas.
The office is guided by the blueprint created by Governor Kelly, Lt. Governor Rogers and Secretary of Commerce David Toland, which includes:
• Developing rural housing
• Revitalizing Main Street corridors
• Investing in rural infrastructure
• Supporting rural hospitals and medical professional recruitment
• Making state government work for rural Kansas
• Incentivizing active tourism
• Supporting agribusiness
The tour is intended to foster new ways to help rural Kansas communities by hearing from the residents themselves on these topics.
Throughout the day Rogers will visit one-on-one with identified entities addressing these topics in Winfield, Arkansas City and rural Cowley County to hear directly from residents, business owners and community representatives.
