Heat assistance funds available for residents What if a county agency had money to give away and no one came to claim it? That appears to be happening at the Northern Kentucky Community Action Center on Seventh Street. CAC Director Sandra Clifton said she is surprised in the lack of interest locally for the federal Low-Income Heat and Energy Assistance Program that her agency administers to county residents.
Fiscal Court considers mobile home ordinance The Trimble County Fiscal Court took up the discussion for a mobile home and septic ordinance last week. At issue is the anticipated influx of 1,200 workers with the LG&E power plant expansion in Wise’s Landing. It is expected that the workers on the expansion will increase demand for an “onslaught of rental units to be established” which is expected to be mostly mobile homes. Currently, the county has no ordinance regulating the placement and proximity of mobile homes and the discussion of any proposed ordinance centered on making sure renters are provided with adequate and safe homes and that lower income families are not faced with an added burden.
Christmas festival returns to Courthouse Square Santa Claus is coming back to town. The jolly old elf will be spreading cheer in Carrollton on Saturday, Dec. 2, as the guest of honor of the 2006 “A Christmas Carroll” celebration. Because he will serve as grand marshall of the festival parade, Santa’s journey to downtown Carrollton will begin at noon at Port William Lane. From there, he and his helpers will proceed down Highland Avenue before coming to a stop at the Courthouse Square, where crafts and food vendors will have been selling their wares since 11 a.m. or earlier.
Ghent panel OKs purchase Plans for a new boat ramp have been cast out, but construction of a new city park is on the horizon for the city of Ghent. Earlier this month, Ghent City Commission unanimously approved the purchase of a parcel of land on Union Street to be used for the new city park. The city will pay owner William Diuguid $7,000 for the land, and has agreed to name the recreational area “Diuguid Park.” “I think it’s a fair price,” Mayor William Mumphrey said before the commission’s vote at the Nov. 14 regular meeting. |
