Elizabethtown Community and Technical College will be offering yet another creative way to reach out to prospective students ahead of the 2020-21 academic year. The college will be using a Mobile Information Station for those who would like to meet with college representatives, but cannot get to campus.
The mobile station will also be at the Elizabethtown-Hardin County Industrial Foundation on August 11th from 7-9 AM and 2-4 PM, as well as visiting various schools around the region. All activity will be outdoors, and face coverings and social distancing will be required. More information and a schedule of where the bus will be can be found at Elizabethtown.kctcs.edu

After roughly 3 months off due to covid-19 restrictions, Hardin County’s Inmate Work Crew was back out on the road in July, and they picked right back up where they left off, collecting 5000 bags of trash over 400 miles of roadway within the county. Jailer Josh Lindblom says the workers look at the task as a competition between the crews, saying, “it’s like a pride thing for them.”
Lindblom said that the time off also brought collection numbers down just slightly. Officials remind motorists to slow down when driving around work details.
