 The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has awarded nearly $41 million in contracts for projects to repave, rehabilitate and repair roads across the Commonwealth.

Most are for state routes, but they include repairs for interstate highways in Jefferson, Carroll, Gallatin and Livingston counties.

LaRue County will receive $200,082 for a section of Lyons Station Road (KY 52) near the Nelson County line. Scotty’s Contracting and Stone LLC will do the work.

 LaRue County Fiscal Court approved the county’s health insurance renewal with Anthem as magistrates met at the courthouse in Hodgenville Sept. 25.

 Real property taxes for LaRue Countians will remain about the same as last year as LaRue County Fiscal Court approved the compensating rate during a meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville Sept. 11.

The rate was set at 18.7 cents per $100 of assessed value.

“I believe this is the third straight year we’ve chosen the compensating rate,” said Tommy Turner, judge-executive. “This rate produces an amount of revenue approximately equal to that produced in the preceding year from real property.”
