🎉 As 2024 comes to a close, we’re saying farewell to a true legend. After 21 incredible years with Clay County, Lee Pogue is retiring! Lee’s dedication and talent have been unmatched, and he’ll be deeply missed by our maintenance and facilities team (and everyone else, too). Thank you, Lee, for your years of service and hard work! Wishing you a relaxing and enjoyable retirement—though we hope you’re staying off ladders and away from paintbrushes in your free time! 🛠️🎨

The U.S. Bicycle Route System (USBRS) is adding four new routes in three states, including Missouri and Clay County. This is following an approved proposal brought forth to the commission back in January 2024. USBR 51 in Missouri begins at US 69 at the Missouri / Iowa state border and ends on US 71 at the Missouri / Arkansas state border connecting to USBR 51 in Arkansas. This route establishes USBR 51 as a north-south bicycle route through the state of Missouri with no gaps. The Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation worked diligently with the local entities throughout the state to provide a continuous route through the state of Missouri. The route has segments utilizing Missouri state and local roadways as well as established trails and facilities including the Katy Trail, Watkins Woolen Mill State Park, Corps of Engineers at Truman Lake, Swinging Bridge Trail, and Frisco Highline Trail.

The use of the funds allocated across Clay County: 37% to Covid Response/Public Health; 33% to Infrastructure, 10% to Economic Recovery, and 21% to projects due to loss of revenue.
