Additional Services

We also provide community planning, grant, and technical assistance to our member jurisdictions. We understand and value the importance of working collaboratively, as we are stronger together and more effective.

These issues require cooperation and coordination between communities. The Flint Hills Regional Council exists to support the facilitation of collaborative efforts that bring mutual benefit to the region.
