Dear Mr. Schrage,
This letter confirms the Kansas Department of Transportation has committed up to $957,000.00 for
transportation improvements associated with Project Gemini. This money is awarded in conjunction
with the addition of 100 new jobs with Great Plains Manufacturing. If the company does not elect to
create 100 new jobs in Salina or 180 days have passed from this date with no confirmation from the
company, then this award is null and void. The city may ask for an extension to the 180 days if needed.
For the Economic Development grant, all KDOT requirements must be followed along with continued
communication with the Economic Development team for these monies to be eligible for roadway
improvements. Please keep us updated in regard to the status of Project Gemini and we look forward to
working with you. Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Michelle Needham
