New Topeka flag license plates available to public

TOPEKA (KSNT) – The City of Topeka alongside the Greater Topeka Partnership (GTP) revealed the new Topeka license plate that’s now available to the public.

Executive Director for Young Talent Rhett Flood spoke on his efforts to make the new license plate a reality. Mayor Mike Padilla was also in attendance to share a few words.

Last year the GTP and Forge Young Talent collaborated to design a Topeka flag license plate.

“We are so proud to see this new license plate become available,” said Rhett Flood, Forge executive director. “Forge Young Talent worked hard with community leaders to bring the new city flag to life five years ago. Today, we’re unveiling another way to proudly display that design. This new plate allows people to show their pride in Topeka, while supporting efforts to make Topeka a better community for young professionals.”
