Environmental Assessment for Kiowa County Commons, Greensburg, Kansas (September 2009)

The Kiowa County Library, the Kiowa County Museum, and the entire city of Greensburg, Kansas experienced substantial damage from an Enhanced Fujita Scale Category 5 tornado estimated at up to 1.7 miles in diameter that made a direct hit on Greensburg, virtually destroying the entire community of 1,574 residents on May 4, 2007.The need for the project is to replace and upgrade the destroyed Kiowa County Library and Kiowa County Historical Museum. This is the only museum in Kiowa County. The closest museum to capture relics and artifacts of Kiowa County history would be the Edwards County Historical Society Museum, 27 miles north of Greensburg in Kinsley, KS.
