City Meets with Federal Officials
Rep. Sharice Davids Hosts Panasonic Community Conversation Series
De Soto participated in an event hosted by Rep. Sharice Davids (KS-03), the second in a quarterly series of community conversations with key stakeholders and federal officials. These meetings are intended to ensure that the community is equipped to handle growth around the Panasonic development. Each conversation will center around a different development topic, such as housing or education, and will feature experts in those fields.
This quarter's event included a conversation on roads with Richard E. Backlund, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Kansas Division Administrator.
If you're interested in attending future events or have further questions or suggestions for the series, contact Rep. Davids' senior advisor Erin Fyffe at erin.fyffe@mail.house.gov.
