Support the Flint Hills Digital Campus project
The Issue
The Flint Hills Digital Campus project stands as a pivotal opportunity for the community of Emporia and Lyon County. The benefits of this initiative hold the potential for a sustainable and prosperous future for our community.
Economic growth remains at the forefront of this project's aims. By supporting this development, we can contribute to the diversification and expansion of the local economy, allow us to participate in the new modern digital economy leading to the creation of new higher-paying jobs. Moreover, with the size of the investment expected and a bolstered economy, we can anticipate a reduction in property taxes, relieving one of the most significant concerns for property and homeowners in the area.
Infrastructure improvements and expanded services are additional benefits that will arise from the Flint Hills Digital Campus. These enhancements will attract new investments beyond just the campus users and will play a crucial role in elevating the quality of life for all residents. By fostering a robust environment for business and education, this development will also strengthen the role of our local education partners, including USD 253, Emporia State University (ESU), and Flint Hills Technical College (FHTC).
The project has the opportunity not only for current residents but also for our young people and families considering making Lyon County their home. This effort ensures that they have compelling reasons to stay, contributing to a vibrant and thriving community in the long term.
Since it is early in the process, answers to specific questions are not able to be answered unless this project moves forward to the next stage, attracting an end user and creating a development agreement. Stopping now will not allow us to answer the questions and will eliminate this transformational opportunity from becoming a reality.
Supporting the Flint Hills Digital Campus project equates to investing in a brighter, more prosperous future for Emporia, Lyon County, and every citizen who calls this wonderful region home. We urge each of you to lend your voice to ensure that our Planning and City Commissioners know there is support to properly evaluate the opportunity.
