Emporia and Madison are set up for state funding for improvements involving highways.
Emporia is receiving $400,000 officially for surface preservation on US Highway 50. City Manager Trey Cocking says this will involve milling and overlay between Graphic Arts and Prairie.
Madison, meanwhile, is getting $1.5 million for pavement restoration on Kansas Highway 58.
The funding is available through the state’s City Connecting Link Improvement Program, or CCLIP. City Connecting Links are defined as any routing of the state’s highway system — aside from an Interstate — inside a city limit.
