Moundridge City Council voted to join the Regional Economic Area Partnership (REAP) at their regularly scheduled meeting on November 7. REAP’s mission is to guide state and national actions that affect economic development in the region and adopt joint actions among member governments that enhance the regional economy. Dues to REAP are based on the city’s or county’s population. Currently REAP is encouraging the Kansas legislature to consider the possible economic and social benefits of expanding KanCare.
