Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly announced the Port Authority of Stafford County has secured $25 million in federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity grant program.
The PASC will use the grant to design and create a rail-served transload facility and grain terminal adjacent to a BNSF Railway. The PASC project will facilitate the movement of a variety of commodities that currently move by truck.
Combined with $5 million in matching funds from the Kansas Infrastructure Hub and Build Kansas Fund, the total investment in Kansas for this inland port infrastructure project totals $30 million.
