Government

A bridge on Ky. 84 between Sonora and Hodgenville has been reduced to one lane as state road crews make repairs. A stop light has been installed at the site.

LaRue County Clerk Linda Carter has received a $3,305 grant from the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives to preserve and manage local government records. KDLA is an agency of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet.
The grant funds will be used to purchase and install a plat cabinet for the storage of permanent plats recorded in the county clerk’s office.
The Local Records Program is dedicated to the preservation and management of Kentucky’s local government records of enduring value.

Torrential rains washed down three tandem truck loads of gravel onto Peake Road near Knob Creek, county road supervisor Clyde Veirs told members of fiscal court meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville April 13. “And we’re not done hauling gravel off the road yet,” said Veirs. “Mainly, we’ve been cleaning up the mess from floodwaters.” The rain played havoc throughout the county as road crews augered a tile on Polley, pushed out brush and re-cut a ditch on Cruse Road, cleared ditches on Peppers Road, dug out “pumped” areas on Wooton and Pickerill roads and sloped banks on Airline Road.

The Hodgenville Main Street saga continues.
Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse last month ordered the volunteer group to dissolve – but did not set a timeframe. The letter, in part, ordered Main Street to make “any and all restitutions, obligations or indebtedness as required by law. Furthermore, at the end of said dispositions, if there be any assets remaining, those assets shall be conveyed back to the City of Hodgenville.”
