    SHEPHERDSVILLE - It has been a long process reworking the planning regulations that date back nearly 40 years.

    SHEPHERDSVILLE - Bullitt County Public Schools superintendent Keith Davis would be satisfied if the local districts were receiving the full funding they are entitled to by the state of Kentucky.
