The City of Elizabethtown City Council heard and approved a new fee schedule for the Parks and Recreation Facilities and Activities last night. “We did a study and looked at the current rates, when they were last put into place. Once we looked through and compared them to other municipalities in the area, what our operational costs are and what everything has gone to, we set them at a little bit higher rate than where they were previously. They’re very competitive and comparable to the other municipalities in the state of Kentucky, comparing them to the types of facilities that we have,” said Parks and Recreations Director Seth Breitner. More information can be found on the City of Elizabethtown website or app.

Hardin County Schools is asking the community’s assistance to help a student’s family who suffered a fire at their home over the weekend. According to a statement, the mother and two children escaped the fire unharmed but they lost not only their home but the only car that the family had. The mother is disabled and there was no insurance on the car or trailer. “The family has sought and received assistance from the Hardin County Schools Family Stability Program and the Family Resource Center at Meadow View Elementary School. However, there are certain things, obviously, bigger things that those two entities cannot provide. And so, we have reached out to the community and are seeking assistance for this family to help with things like a home, automobile, clothing and housing items that they will need to get back on their feet,” said Hardin County Spokesperson John Wright. Anyone who is able to assist this family can contact the Meadow View Elementary School Family Resource Center coordinator.
