Governor Laura Kelly Announces Applications Open for Kansas Angel Investor Tax Credit Program

~Bipartisan effort will help Kansas recruit innovative new companies, grow economy~

TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly today announced applications are being accepted for Kansas startups seeking investment through the Kansas Angel Investor Tax Credit (KAITC) program for 2021. Through bipartisan Senate Bill 66, the Angels program was extended for five years.

“Paired with our pro-business environment and talented workforce, the Angels program will help Kansas recruit dynamic startups to strengthen our growing economy,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “This program will allow Kansas to compete with every state in the nation to attract new businesses, industries, and families. I want to thank the Kansas Department of Commerce and the Legislature for supporting this bipartisan initiative.”

The program offers Kansas income tax credits to qualified individuals investing in new Kansas businesses. Eligible entrepreneurs include those engaged in the development, implementation and commercialization of new and innovative technologies, products, and services.

The KAITC program is administered by the Kansas Department of Commerce, and is designed to encourage investment in new, innovative Kansas startups. Senate Bill 66 extended KAITC for the next five years. Important updates have been made to the program, including changes to credit investment amounts, increased budget appropriations and more.

“As we know from the Framework for Growth, innovation is a vital component in building the economy of the future, and it’s an aspect we can’t ignore,” Lieutenant Governor and Commerce Secretary David Toland said. “I’m grateful to Governor Kelly and to our partners in the Legislature for seeing the limitless potential in the Angels program. If you’re looking to create the next big thing, we want you to do it here – and we have this tool to help you make it happen.”

“By ensuring tools such as the Angel Investor Tax Credit are available, we are sending a clear message to the start-up community that Kansas supports innovation and collaboration,” Kansas Representative Stephen Owens said. “Our goal is your goal, to grow strong Kansas companies. I look forward to continuing to work with the Commerce Department and the Kansas Legislature on additional new tools to further bolster growth in entrepreneurship in the next session.”

“I’m excited to see that we’re going to keep investing in this program,” Kansas Senator Robert Olson said. “Angels has created so many jobs and brought so much new investment to Kansas. Continuing with Angels is right for our state.”

Companies must qualify in order to participate in KAITC and receive tax credits. Eligibility requirements can be found at kansascommerce.gov/angels.

Startups seeking investment can apply now at kansascommerce.gov/angels, with applications accepted until August 31.

Mosquito Prevention

Red, Bite, and Blue: KDHE Recommends Mosquito Bite Prevention Over July 4th Holiday

Topeka – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment recommends Kansans take preventive measures against mosquito bites over the July 4th holiday. Five of six regions in Kansas are now at the ‘High’ risk level for West Nile virus. Mosquito surveillance in Reno, Sedgwick, and Shawnee counties has shown an increase Culex mosquitoes which can spread West Nile virus and other viruses that can affect humans and horses. This species of mosquitoes is most active at dawn and dusk.

West Nile virus can be spread to people through bites from infected mosquitoes, but it is not contagious from person to person. Symptoms range from a slight headache and low-grade fever to swelling of the brain or brain tissue and, in rare cases, death. Since 2002 there have been 692 cases and 35 deaths in Kansans from West Nile virus. People who have had West Nile virus before are considered immune. Cases are most common from mid-July through late September.

KDHE has developed West Nile virus risk levels to help guide prevention efforts for both communities and individuals. These risk level reports are updated weekly at http://www.kdheks.gov/epi/arboviral_disease.htm from mid-May to October.

KDHE recommends the following precautions to protect against West Nile virus:

  • When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient on skin and clothing, including DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535. Follow the directions on the package.
  • Many mosquitoes are most active at dusk and dawn. Be sure to use insect repellent and wear long sleeves and pants at these times or consider staying indoors during these hours.
  • The elderly or immunocompromised should consider limiting their exposure outside during dusk and dawn when the Culex species mosquitos are most active.
  • Make sure you have good screens on your windows and doors to keep mosquitoes out.
  • Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in pet dishes and replace the water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used.

People should protect their horses too as West Nile virus in horses can be fatal. The virus can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Approximately 33% of horses infected with West Nile virus will die. A West Nile virus vaccine for horses is available and owners are encouraged to vaccinate or booster their animals. In addition, these mosquitoes can transmit heartworms to dogs. Contact your veterinarian to discuss a West Nile virus vaccine for your horses and heartworm prevention for your dogs.

KDHE maintains an Arboviral Disease Surveillance web page that is updated weekly: http://www.kdheks.gov/epi/arboviral_disease.htm. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides this web page with additional information about West Nile virus and preventing mosquito bites: https://www.cdc.gov/westnile/prevention/index.html. For questions about West Nile virus or other arboviral diseases contact the KDHE Epidemiology Hotline at 877-427-7317.

Financial Assistance For Childcare

Governor Laura Kelly Announces Childcare Resources for Kansans and Providers

~More Kansas families will be eligible for financial assistance; new round of sustainability grants support childcare providers~

TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly today announced that, in an effort to improve access to quality, affordable childcare, more Kansas families will now be eligible to take advantage of the Hero Relief Child Care Assistance Program.

First implemented at the beginning of the pandemic to assist essential workers with the costs of childcare, this new round of assistance allows all Kansas workers to take advantage of expanded financial eligibility guidelines.

“Kansas has experienced a record amount of economic activity this year. In order to support our growing economy, Kansans in the workforce need reliable access to quality childcare,” Governor Kelly said. “Expanding the Hero Relief Program helps businesses and parents, and ensures children, our most precious resource, have opportunities to develop in nurturing environments.”

Under the new guidelines, any Kansas worker who makes 250% or less of the federal poverty level is now eligible for childcare assistance. The expansion also includes waiving the family share deduction for essential workers and reducing the deduction for all others. Families also will see an expanded eligibility period from six to 12 months.

The income eligibility chart provides monthly income guidelines for the program:

hh

This program is available to families who need child care for employment as long as the adults in the household are employed an average of 20 hours a week. Some education or training activities also may be supported under the traditional Child Care Assistance Program.

“I am pleased that more families can now take advantage of the Hero Relief Program,” Department for Children and Families Secretary Laura Howard said. “Parents have faced additional challenges because of the pandemic, and it was important to me that we provide meaningful assistance to families.”

For more information and for instructions on how to apply, visit www.KSHeroRelief.com.

Governor Kelly also announced today that DCF, in partnership with Child Care Aware of Kansas, is launching the Child Care Sustainability Grant program to aid child care providers in meeting the costs of operating their business. Nearly $50 million will be distributed through the program, with grant awards ranging from $5,000 for family child care programs to $60,000 for large centers.

This support comes at a critical time for Kansas providers. Many have struggled to stay afloat amid increased costs to provide child care in line with CDC COVID-19 mitigation guidelines and, in many cases, experienced a decrease in revenue due to illness. This funding is intended to give them the assistance needed to continue providing the best quality care for the children in their programs.

“At Child Care Aware of Kansas, we take pride in our ability to support child care providers and are very excited to see this funding become available,” Kelly Davydov, Executive Director, said. “Child care is essential for a thriving Kansas economy. When child care providers operate a safe, happy, nurturing environment, families can feel at peace knowing that their child is in good hands.”

“This grant program is the perfect example of how we can use federal relief dollars to support small businesses,” Governor Kelly said. “I want to thank Child Care Aware of Kansas for partnering in continued efforts to boost access to child care and strengthen our economy.”

The Child Care Sustainability grant application will be available via the Child Care Aware of Kansas website starting July 1, and must be received by July 30, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. All child care facilities that are licensed by and in good standing with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment are eligible to apply. Funds may be used for any normal operational expenses, additional expenses the child care program has due to meeting CDC guidance for mitigating the spread of COVID-19, and other activities necessary to maintain or resume the operation of programs.

For more information about the Child Care Sustainability Grants, visit https://ks.childcareaware.org.

Funding for these programs comes from federal relief dollars included in the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act and the American Rescue Plan.

Local Non-Profit Awarded USDA Rural Development Grant

Leave a comment

July 1, 2021
The Healthy Bourbon County Action Team, Inc Awarded $78,175 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Business Development Grant

The Healthy Bourbon County Action Team (HBCAT) has been awarded the highly competitive USDA Rural Business Development Grant.

The award will be used to fund the HBCAT’s Center for Economic Growth program to provide technical assistance to small and emerging private businesses, increase awareness of available resources through community engagement, enhance quality of life, encourage economic growth, and foster healthy choices through cross-sectors of Bourbon County.

Bourbon County residents can meet with Dacia Clark, Assistant Director with Pittsburg State Small Business Development Center (PSU SBDC) in Downtown Fort Scott. Dacia, a Fort Scott native, provides a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and resources to help individuals get started on the right path.

Whether in person or online, PSU SBDC is helping entrepreneurs with starting a new business or new product, growing sales, running a business, protecting business, and succession planning every day.

In addition, Southeast KANSASWORKS, the Local Workforce Development Board that serves 17 counties in Southeast Kansas, will be available in person twice a week.

Southeast KANSASWORKS contributes to economic growth and business expansion by ensuring the workforce system is job-driven and matching employers with skilled individuals.
Southeast KANSASWORKS administers the regional Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) program.

State and local WIOA boards promote the use of industry and sector partnerships to address the workforce needs of multiple employers within an industry. They are responsible for activities to meet the workforce needs of local and regional employers.

Employers and job seekers alike benefit from services provided by Southeast KANSASWORKS which include free online job listings, labor market information, pre-employment testing, work opportunities tax credits, pre-screen applicants, recruiting services, federal bonding, interview space, youth programs, and more.

The program has seen measured success since November 2020 because of a coordinated, united, and participatory approach taken by all partners involved.

As a result, the HBCAT’s Center for Economic Growth offers a one-stop-shop to community members seeking to build financial stability.

“We are thrilled to be part of this successful collaboration,” Dacia Clark, PSU SBDC, “In my experience, this kind of synergy between the Chamber, local non-profits like the Healthy Bourbon County Action Team, and regional organizations is extraordinary.”

Building a healthy community is more than a matter of fostering individual health, it is about public policy, systems, and environments that foster a healthy society. The HBCAT’s work
at the community level is to improve social integration and support systems, promote community engagement, and reduce stress and discrimination. These services are instrumental in addressing
the social determinants of health in wealth creation, enhancing quality of life, employment, and poverty. Providing local businesses expertise and guidance, particularly in these very turbulent
times, has shown to be a critical resource to increase the number of business start-ups and number of available quality jobs.
In order to address poor health outcomes, the HBCAT is looking upstream to the causes of disease.

According to The US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030, there is a clear and established relationship between poverty, socioeconomic status, and health outcomes—including increased risk for disease and premature death.

“Chronic disease can lead to low worker productivity, locked in low-income jobs, and an increase on household expenditures to pay for medical bills and prescriptions,” Jody Hoener, HBCAT President and CEO “As a result, food insecurity increases, the cycle of intergenerational poverty is perpetuated, and quality of life is inhibited.”

As a rural community, Bourbon County continues to feel considerable geographic disparities. There is a disproportionate lack of opportunity for upward mobility in employment,
inadequate levels of venture or capital injection and historically programming available locally to focus on employment, mentoring, business planning or other wealth building strategies.
Through the Center for Economic Growth, all generations, regardless of socio-economic status, will have the resources, programs, and technical assistance to develop their skills and
become successful entrepreneurs in Southeast Kansas.

“This program is giving individuals a unique opportunity to build financial stability,” Lindsay Madison, President and CEO Fort Scott Area Chamber of Commerce, “We strive to break the cycle of poverty by investing time and resources in the people who do not have access to needed guidance, education, mentoring or financial means.”

By offering a new pathway to build wealth, the HBCAT is giving young adults alternative options to where they choose to live.
With the USDA Rural Business Development funds, Healthy Bourbon County Action Team aims to empower low-income minority, women, and food-based entrepreneurs. Providing
education, tutorials, assistance, and seminars on business and entrepreneurship concepts gives individuals a sense of competence and self-determination.

The HBCAT is located in the Historic Downtown Fort Scott on the second floor of 17 South Main Fort Scott KS. It is a “one-stop-shop” for business, employment, food, telework and distance learning needs. Current businesses, and those looking to start a business, have a physical location to meet with others. Additionally, services are available for those seeking employment, developing soft skills (i.e.interviewing), or other job seeking assistance.

Businesses are encouraged and welcome to contact Southeast KANSASWORKS to see how they can connect with those looking for employment.

 Resident Missing from Larned State Hospital

SPTP resident John Freeman Colt walked away at approximately 7 a.m. Wednesday morning

Larned – Sexual Predator Treatment Program (SPTP) resident John Freeman Colt, a 42-year-old white male, walked away this morning from Larned State Hospital (LSH) and is currently considered absent without permission. Colt was seen on video walking out of the Dillon Building at approximately 7 a.m. He had shaved his beard and changed his hair and used a fraudulent identity badge to get through the security checkpoint.

A member of the community picked up a person matching Colt’s description. He was taken to the City of Larned and dropped off at the Kwik Shop.  He was seen leaving the Kwik Shop walking north.

“My leadership team at Larned is working closely with local law enforcement to ensure this resident is apprehended quickly and without incident,” Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Secretary Laura Howard said. “I am in constant contact with the superintendent at Larned and am actively monitoring the situation.”

Colt is 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighs 201 pounds, and was last seen wearing a face mask, dress pants, and a dress shirt. He has a tattoo on his upper left arm with the initials BH. The Pawnee County Sheriff was made aware of the situation and activated the local farmer’s alert. The Kansas Highway Patrol and Kansas Bureau of Investigation have also been notified.

LSH and KDADS officials are fully cooperating with law enforcement’s ongoing investigation. New information will be released as it becomes available.
