After several months of efforts, some exciting news for Manhattan came out of Topeka. Manhattan has won the Take Charge Challenge, which means $100,000 to the city of Manhattan. Manhattan/K-State defeated Lawrence and the University of Kansas in the challenge.
Bruce Snead, who served as co-chair of the leadership team for Manhattan’s Take Charge Challenge with K-State First Lady Noel Schulz, had praise and thanks for the many involved. He says the money will be used for additional energy efficient improvements for the city and university.
Snead says Manhattan won on a per capita savings basis, winning in two of three categories.
“Thrilled” is the word Snead used to describe his feelings with the success of the nine month effort.
