HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RUSH COUNTY! 150 years ago today Rush County officially became a county in Kansas. Those first pioneers on the open prairie were beset with struggle, but they had a vision to create a better place for their families, their children's children, and generations to come. The journey has been a constant flow of ups and downs, but with perseverence, we made it. We must never let go of that vision and keep looking forward. Our past is a book of lessons, our future is an opportunity to apply those lessons and move forward for the next 150 years. Congratulations and once again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Rush County, Kansas!

TOPEKA – Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland today announced $380,000 has been awarded to 40 Kansas counties including RUSH COUNTY in the first round of Rural Opportunity Zone (ROZ) Local Marketing Grants. The funds are intended to help counties market the unique ROZ financial incentives available to new residents: Student loan repayment assistance and/or 100% state income tax credit.

Counties that have annually contributed and supported the matching requirement of the program will receive between $5,000 and $15,000 to better support and promote their program. Funding will assist the counties and local partner organizations as they develop customized marketing strategies best suited for their community.

“There is not a one-size-fits-all solution when effectively marketing what each unique Kansas community has to offer its residents,” Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said. “The ROZ marketing grant will provide support to showcase each community’s potential to be that perfect place for someone relocating to Kansas.”

Awarded funds can be used for initiatives such as:

Creating or improving a community’s ROZ marketing approach to highlight the opportunities for relocation
Creating a new promotional relocation video
Supporting a talent recruitment campaign at colleges and universities
“These new funds are intended for sponsoring counties and local partner organizations to allow for their creativity to flow and focus on how to effectively highlight their communities,” Director of Office of Rural Prosperity Trisha Purdon said. “Communities now will have the financial resources to market their rural communities to people looking to move to rural Kansas. I’m thrilled to see how each county promotes their town and everything it has to offer.”

Awards are granted based on the county’s annual sponsorship of ROZ. RUSH COUNTY has been awarded $5,000.

To find more information:

Rural Opportunity Zones are the 77 Kansas counties that have been authorized to offer one or both of the following financial incentives to new full-time residents: Kansas state income tax waivers for up to five years and student loan repayments up to $15,000 over 5 years.
