Airbus Expanding in Kansas
(
AP) – Airbus Americas Engineering says it is planning to expand into a third space in downtown Wichita.
The company announced Monday it has already hired more people than had been expected after its last expansion. The firm’s vice president of engineering, John O’Leary, says it has hired 150 people, more than the 100 it had planned to hire when it expanded in 2012.
The company now employs about 400 people in Wichita.
The new building is adjacent to the company’s current facility. It will give the company 10,000 square feet to provide more space for current operations and allow for future growth.

New State Park Proposed
The budgets proposed by the Kansas House and Senate include a plan to buy land in northeast Kansas for a new park.
The state parks department says it wants to buy 824 acres in Jefferson County for a park that would be used primarily for hunting and hiking.
The three parcels of land in southern Jefferson County, east of Perry, have an appraised value of $1.2 million.
The Kansas Wildlife, Parks and Tourism is proposing that the land be purchased with Pittman-Roberston funds, which come from a tax on hunting and fishing equipment that is collected by the federal government and distributed to the states.

KDOT Staff Hays: Slow Down
Last year in Kansas, 8 people were killed and 608 people were injured in work zone-related crashes.
