The federal government sent more than $1 billion to Kansas for coronavirus relief through the CARES Act. That money must be spent by the end of the year. The SPARK Task Force was created to assist in making recommendations on how the money should be distributed and spent. Two rounds of funding have already been sent to Kansas counties and now the third and final round of money needs to go out. There is approximately $290 million in CARES Act funding left to be distributed. The Kansas Office of Recovery held a virtual webinar on Friday with members of the SPARK Task Force. Suggestions and proposals were presented on how to potentially spent the remaining money.
