HUMBOLDT — Rental properties in Humboldt will get an upgrade with the help of a $170,000 Community Development Block Grant arranged through the Kansas Department of Commerce.

Five landlords have agreed to provide a local match totaling $50,000 to fix up six houses and three downtown apartments, City Administrator Larry Tucker told council members Monday night.

Grant application was made last fall.

Council members agreed to apply for an $18,000 grant from the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks to build handicap-accessible restroom facilities at Neosho River Park. Volunteers raised $10,000 to match the KDWP grant. The restroom project will cost nearly $28,000.
