Greensburg To Receive Tree Grant

Greensburg has received a $20,000 grant

that is going toward replacing trees to the tornado-stricken,

south-central Kansas town.

Greensburg officials bought 61 trees with a $20,000 gift to

Greensburg from the U.S. Chamber Business Civic Leadership Center

and Siemens USA. C

An EF-5 tornado destroyed much of Greensburg five years ago. The

tornado also killed 13 people.

Stacy Barnes, museum director and director of tourism for

Greensburg, said the trees are another sign of progress for

Greensburg.
