Labor Dept. pours $10M into cleanup
The U.S. Labor Department will pump $10 million into employment efforts designed to help clean up after flooding in Kansas.
The grant, announced Tuesday, is intended to create about 1,000 temporary jobs to assist in cleanup and recovery efforts in areas affected by recent floods, including Franklin County.
The Kansas Department of Commerce will use the grant for temporary employment on projects that assist with cleanup and recovery in the aftermath of flooding.
Workers eligible to apply for the temporary jobs include those dislocated as a result of the floods, other dislocated workers, and those considered to be long-term unemployed.
