Sedalia Regional Airport Medical, School and Park Areas
bothwell regional health center W ELCOME TO SEDALIA Sedalia Missouri is a community with many assets. Specifi cally, the assets that have made and will continue to make this a very sustainable community, are related but not limited to these entities: diverse industries and employment opportunities, strong public and private educational sources, engaged city and county governments and very active community organizations. But then we come to what I feel is the most admirable asset to the City of Sedalia, MO … THE PEOPLE! In a very un-selfi sh manner, the residents continue to donate their time and money to sustaining and improving the city and providing an excellent place to raise a family, conduct business and provide many ways to enjoy life. What is the Chamber of Commerce’s role in all of this? The Chamber of Commerce should work to bring a variety of opportunities to the city and work well with Economic Development to reinforce why businesses need to consider the City of Sedalia as the right place to open up shop. Finally, sustaining and continually providing value to our existing Chamber of Commerce members is crucially important and a priority of the Chamber of Commerce Board. Supporting all of our existing Chamber members is very important, as they are investing every day into their businesses and we need to continue to support them and spread the word that Sedalia, MO is a great place to come and shop. I am very proud to have been elected as the President of the Chamber of Commerce for Sedalia, MO. -

Modot Funding DISTRIBUTION
MoDOT Funding DISTRIBUTION How is MoDOT’s Funding Distributed Across the State? Since 2003, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission has used a formula to distribute construction program funds for road and bridge improvements to each of its seven districts. This is the largest area of MoDOT’s budget that provides funding for safety improvements, taking care of the system and flexible funds that districts can use to take care of the system or invest in major projects that relieve congestion and spur economic growth. In many districts, taking care of the system funds are not sufficient to maintain current system conditions. Districts use flexible funds to make up the difference. Construction program funds are allocated annually to districts using the following formula: Total Distributed Construction Program Funds Safety $3 million distributed for statewide program $32 million distributed based on three-year $35 Million crash rates $310 million distributed based on Taking Care of amount of highway travel, bridge size the System and highway miles $435 Million $125 million distributed for statewide interstate and major bridge needs Flexible* Distributed based on population, *In 2020, $563 million of Flexible Remaining Funds employment and funds were distributed, of which highway travel $466 million was used for taking care of our system. 20 Citizen’s Guide to Transportation Funding in Missouri CATEGORY ORDER: 4.3% 4.8% Safety % 8.9% 7.6% Taking Care of the System % 4.6% 4.7% Flexible % 20.1% This map shows the 18.3% percentage of funds 21.0% from each category that 33.9% are distributed to each 11.0% 23.4% district, based on 2020 34.5% factors. -
Steamboats on the Missouri River
A BRIEF HISTORY OF STEAMBOATING ON THE MISSOURI RIVER WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE BOONSLICK REGION by Robert L. Dyer From the BOONE'S LICK HERITAGE Volume 5, No. 2, June 1997 Boonslick Historical Society's Quarterly Magazine Boonslick Historical Society P.O. Box 324 Boonville, MO 65233 Just because the Mississippi is the biggest river in the country, you mustn't get the idea that she's the best and the boats on her the finest and her boatmen the smartest. That ain't true. Son, real steamboatin' begins a few miles north there, where the Missouri and the Mississippi join up. It takes a real man to be a Missouri River pilot, and that's why a good one draws down as high as a thousand dollars a month. If a Mississippi boat makes a good trip to New Orleans and back, its milk-fed crew think they've turned a trick. Bah! That's creek navigatin'. But from St. Louis to Fort Benton and back; close on to five thousand miles, son, with cottonwood snags waitin' to rip a hole in your bottom and the fastest current there ever was on any river darin' your engines at every bend and with Injuns hidin' in the bushes at the woodyard landings ready to rip the scalp off your head; that's a hair-on-your-chest, he-man trip for you! ...And the Missouri has more history stored up in any one of her ten thousand bends than this puny Mississippi creek can boast from her source to the New Orleans delta. -
