- When Tonganoxie hired Ed Young for the position of city administrator there was only one acre of park within the city limits, few grants applied for, no highway construction along U.S. 24-40, and the going rate for a moderate house was $70,000. Young has seen quite a few changes since he came to work for the city nearly three years ago. Young believes that his biggest accomplishment while serving in Tonganoxie had to do with sealing the lid on the FEMA project. The Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) grant – worth about $1 million – will help Tonganoxie make a first-class park system out of what used to be a trailer park.
