In conjunction with the announcement, Representative Yoder issued the following statement: I'm thrilled the Department of Transportation has recognized the need for this project in Wyandotte County. The new interchange will open the door for major economic development in the area for years to come. I've been pushing for this grant for years, and personally discussed the need for the new interchange with Secretary Chao in the Third District this year. I want to applaud Mayor David Alvey for his steadfast leadership at the UG and thank the DOT for recognizing this critical need. This is a massive win for KCK, and will continue to build on the already amazing economic development we have seen over the last decade. Secretary of Transportation Elaine L. Chao visited the Third District and met with Yoder about this project in October. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
