In 2023, the City of Halstead was awarded a Building a Stronger Economy (BASE) 2.0 grant from the Kansas Department of Commerce. The desired outcome of the grant is for the construction of an up to a 3500 sq ft building that would be available for sale or lease to prospective industries and help spur economic development activity in Halstead. The intent of the City is to enter into a contractual agreement with qualified firm that can handle both the design and construction of the project as well as meet required timetables per the BASE 2.0 grant guidelines. The selected Design/Build firm will work in conjunction with city staff and the Halstead Governing Body to assist in the completion of the design, engineering, and provide construction services for the project.
