Governor appoints Goodland resident to Highway Advisory Commission

Good roads and highways are critical to Kansas. To recommend ongoing improvements to Kansas roadways, Governor Kathleen Sebelius has appointed Bryce Cole to the State Highway Advisory Commission.

“We have an excellent transportation network in Kansas that encourages commerce and travel. The assistance of the Highway Advisory Commission is necessary to maintain the quality of our roads and highways,” said Sebelius.

The State Highway Advisory Commission reviews the condition of Kansas highways and recommends plans for improvement to the secretary of transportation. Cole will fulfill an unexpired four-year term.

Cole, Goodland, is a second generation farmer in Sherman County and has been working in agriculture for 15 years. In 2005, he opened Cole Family Farms Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch, an agri-tourism based business. Cole has served as the past president of the Sherman County Historical Society and was co-chair of Leadership Sherman County. Additionally, he has been a member of the Goodland City Planning Commission and current member of Goodland Rotary.
