  What is happening in Rossville?

 The first Rossville public forum was held October 19, 2006, at the Citizen Pottawatomie Nation Community Center.

 The Rossville Healthy Ecosystems-Healthy Communities Project team built a community rain garden as a water quality improvement project. The rain garden demonstrates how homeowners, businesses, and community planners can reduce runoff, recharge local groundwater supplies, and remove contaminates in storm water before it enters local streams and lakes. The community team also produced an instructional brochure with detailed guidance on site selection and layout, construction, planning and maintenance of train gardens. You can download the brochure CLICK HERE or stop by and visit their garden at:

714 Main Street in Rossville, KS - across from the City Park anytime you are in Rossville!
