The Elizabethtown City Council met for their first meeting of the month Monday.
Kentucky League of Cities Executive Director J.D. Chaney was on hand to present the KLC Friend of Cities Award, which is presented to legislators who demonstrate strong support for cities and advocate for legislation for them, to State Senator Matt Deneen. He said as part of his current work he is putting an emphasis on public protection.
“We will continue to advocate for supporting our police force, our firemen, and our emergency responders, and we will look for legislation that enhances those areas in every aspect to make sure that the people of the Commonwealth are well taken care of,” Deneen said.
The council approved a municipal order approving the purchase of 415 Pear Orchard Road Northwest, which is part of safety improvements along the Pear Orchard Road corridor.
“To redo Pear Orchard Road, we want to do it in a way that the design is calling for,” said E-Town Mayor Jeff Gregory. “We’re looking at about 85 pieces of right of way, and some of those are going to be houses, from what I understand.”
That’s Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory.
The Elizabethtown City Council will next meet July 14.
