Grow Clay County has been awarded $141,750 through the Kansas Department of Commerce Community Service Tax Program (CSP) to add square footage to the Mental Health Suite in the Clay Center Multi-Generational Life Center for Pawnee’s Rapid Mobile Response Unit, which will serve a 10-county area.

CSP provides an opportunity for non-profit organizations and public healthcare entities to improve their ability to undertake major capital campaigns involving community service, non-governmental crime prevention, youth apprenticeship and technical training, and healthcare services.

Under the program, the state authorizes nonprofit organizations to offer tax credits to donors who make contributions towards approved projects. Organizations in rural areas with populations of less than 15,000 can receive a 70% credit.

Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland said, “CSP allows locally led initiatives to attract additional capital support – and further expand the economic opportunities in their communities.”
