Geary County officials on Monday unanimously approved a request from the Convention and Visitors Bureau to fund repairs at the Milford Nature Center’s butterfly house.
The attraction, which draws visitors from across the region, sustained significant roof damage from a recent snowstorm. Assistant CVB director Rick Dykstra informed the Geary County Commission that the nature center is receiving no other public funding to make the necessary repairs.
“I think it’s very important we get it back up, hopefully before spring (ends),” he said. “It’s an investment in Geary County’s tourism, educational resources and just our well-being to have that re-established.”
