Nearly 1,000 miles and several states separate Tuscaloosa and Greensburg. Only 850 people live in the tiny city situated close to the geographic center of the United States. A 10-member delegation from Tuscaloosa’s Rebuild Tuscaloosa task force visited Greensburg last week, initially worried that they wouldn’t learn anything useful because the cities are so dissimilar.
“It turns out we learned a whole lot,” said City Councilman Bob Lundell.
The 20,000-square-foot Kiowa County Commons is a LEED platinum status building in Greensburg, Kan., that houses the Greensburg branch of the Kiowa County Library, the County Historical Museum, the Kiowa County Media Center and offices of Kansas State Research and Extension. The building was constructed after a 2007 tornado destroyed most of the town’s structures.
