I think the City of Inman should be lauded with kudos for taking the initiative to earn the grant monies they recently did via the NetWork Kansas program.
Small towns need to take it upon themselves to survive and thrive, and that is exactly what Inman is doing.
The town is making a concerted effort to spur entrepreneurship within the community in an attempt the town to grow and prosper.
I think that is great, and I am excited for the opportunities it is going to afford Inman.
