GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • On Tuesday, Hardin County Fiscal Court met for its second monthly session where Jeff Stone from ESCI presented findings on emergency services and funding options—including a recommended levy to address fire and EMS needs.

  • The Elizabethtown Planning Commission met Tuesday evening and reviewed proposals including a public hearing on a zoning map amendment for 707 Saint John Road requested by property owner Hanna Yun to change from R-1 Low-Density Residential to R-6 High-Density Multi-Family Residential and C-3 Regional Commercial for a mixed-use project. City planning staff urged screening measures and a roundabout — steps meant to protect nearby properties — while the commission tabled further discussion until the April 22 meeting and recommended approval on amendments for 475 Hodgenville Road and 4601 North Dixie Avenue.  Quicksie 98.3
