The K-96 Corridor Economic Development Plan represents a collaborative effort that spans the border of two counties and intersects four communities. The counties of Reno and Sedgwick and the communities of Maize, Mt. Hope, Haven, and South Hutchinson have come together to plan for the future of the K-96 Corridor. The Corridor currently serves as the primary transportation route between Wichita, on the southeast, and Hutchinson on the north. K-96 represents one of the most heavily traveled state highways within Kansas, allowing people to easily commute between two prominent Kansas cities. The counties and municipalities have created and supported this collaborative effort for the benefit of the region.
