The Elizabethtown City Council and Elizabethtown Tourism and Convention Commission will be holding a joint meeting today at 2:00 PM. The meeting will be held at City Hall in the 3rd Floor Conference Room and the purpose of the meeting is to discuss development issues. The City Council will also be holding its regularly scheduled meeting at 4:30 PM where the Council will hear the first reading of the ordinance to discuss the proposed Entertainment Destination Center and the licensing which were presented last week during the work session meeting. The agenda also notes that a Special Meeting will be held on March 27. This was discussed briefly at the March 14 work session to get the second reading of the Entertainment Destination Center ordinance completed before April. Due to spring break, the meetings normally scheduled for the first two Mondays in April have been canceled which would have delayed the ordinance to mid April. The City Council and Tourism Commission want to submit the paperwork and begin the process of obtaining the license ahead of summer tourism events.

Three area school districts have published a letter to businesses asking for assistance in keeping vape products out of the hands of minors. The superintendents of Hardin County School, Elizabethtown Independent Schools and Larue County Schools are asking that they consider moving vape related products behind a counter and to provide additional training to employees to keep vapes from being sold to juveniles. According to the statement, students have told school officials that they have been able to purchase vape products illegally from businesses in Hardin and Larue counties. Most vaping products are unregulated and dosage levels of chemicals in them are not precise. Vapes can also be lined with extremely dangerous drugs like Fentanyl. You can view the letter on the websites and Facebook pages for the districts.
