According to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT), the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) program has awarded 2025-2026 Planning and Programming (P&P) grants to six Kansas communities: Alta Vista, Douglass, Fort Scott, Grainfield, La Crosse and Leavenworth.
Council Grove students placing on the University of Kansas spring 2025 honor roll were Brenden Adams, Kyra Blosser, Wyatt LeMay and Nate Watts.
The Council Grove Marina is set to come alive with music and fun as Lizardskin Karaoke returns for its 11th event on Saturday, July 19. From 6 to 10 p.m., guests are invited to sing their hearts out, soak up the summer vibes, and celebrate a decade of unforgettable memories at the Marina.
The 2025 Morris County Revitalization Plan, already approved by the County Commission and the USD 417 Board of Education, is now under consideration by the Council Grove City Council. The plan offers a five-year property tax rebate to owners of commercial property who construct new buildings or make qualifying improvements valued at $10,000 or more. Designed to encourage business development and economic growth, the program does not raise existing taxes but allows eligible participants to recoup a portion of the increased taxes resulting from a higher assessed value. If approved by the city, the unified plan would streamline the process across all local taxing entities.
