 LOUISVILLE -  The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) recently awarded a contract for culvert repairs on KY 251 (Belmont Road) in Bullitt County. Contract crews will be mitigating erosion underneath the culvert over Crooked Creek (mile marker 1.6) near Lebanon Junction.

Contract crews have begun working in this area and some temporary traffic stoppages are possible. Flagging operations will be used to direct traffic through the work zone particularly when heavy equipment will be in operation near the roadway.

MOUNT WASHINGTON—Gatherings on city land will cost a little extra in the near future.

The council recently passed an ordinance establishing rental fees and rules for the use of city pavilions, the city annex building, the gazebo and folding chairs and tables.

Each of the locations will require a $200 deposit with varying non-refundable deposits included for each location depending on if the renter is a city resident or not.

 SHEPHERDSVILLE — After a few weeks of improving its ordinance, city officials are ready to move forward with a borrowing plan to pay for up to $3 million in road projects.

Getting all the language and interest rate details included in the document, the Shepherdsville City Council approved a bond issue agreement through Republic Bank and Trust.

Under the agreement, a bond issue for up to $3 million was approved. The maximum interest rate was set at 2.59 percent, which is lower than the original estimate.

 Last night during the news at six, I saw a commercial spotlighting French Lick Resort as a great destination for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Without a doubt I concur (after our family visit) to French Lick, Indiana for the 4th of July weekend. The West Baden and the French Lick are both stunning examples of architecture that offer golfing, casino gaming, carriage rides, strolls through manicured gardens, spas, horseback riding and live music. However the cities of French Lick and West Baden are much more than just a getaway for couples.
