Current Projects: KAN STEP
KAN STEP is a community development program sponsored by
the Kansas Department of Commerce designed to help communities with an
acknowledged community improvement problem. A minimum of 40 percent savings of
typical "retail costs" must be shown through this self-help process. Types of
facilities that qualify include improvements to water or sewer systems and
buildings. Examples of eligible buildings includes senior centers, community
buildings, and fire stations. The program is designed to benefit low- and
moderate-income persons. The Kansas Rural Water Association provides inspection
services and technical assistance to the KAN STEP program. For more information,

As of January 28, 2008 KAN STEP has completed 45 projects. There are also 14 projects under contract or in construction. The total retail value of projects completed or under construction as of January 28, 2007 is $17,401,791. Because local people donate labor to construct the facilities, the cost has been reduced to $9,790,731 for an overall average reduction of 43.8%.
