    $1.7 million grant continues recent momentum to transform former Maynard building

    October 21, 2023

    The Emporia Area Chamber Foundation’s push to buy the former Maynard Early Childhood Center has gained a lot of momentum in a short period of time.

    Chamber President and CEO Jeanine McKenna says the Foundation has secured a Capital Projects Fund Accelerator grant worth almost $1.76 million. The funding comes from the Kansas Children’s Cabinet and Trust Fund and was made possible by the US Treasury.

    The new grant amount goes towards the property purchase and Phase 1 building renovations. It’s designed to refurbish at least three rooms, the kitchen and several common areas. It also comes on top of a $552,000 Child Care Capacity Accelerator grant announced earlier this month for funding the director’s position, operations, and supplies.
