\nState grant money totaling $1.6 million will help improve issues in one of Kentucky’s 10 fastest-growing counties.<\/p>\n
\nState grant money totaling $1.6 million will help improve issues in one of Kentucky’s 10 fastest-growing counties.<\/p>\n
Bullitt County will use the money to fund three projects that will help support continued growth through expanded internet service, resurfaced roads and extended water services.<\/p>\n
The Bullitt County government has aimed to control the growth by prioritizing improvements around the county. The state grant will help fund some of the county’s most needed projects with $1,090,982 being directed toward a project that will expand high-speed internet in Bullitt County, enabling Bardstown Connect to provide the service to 1,061 unserved households in Bullitt and surrounding counties.<\/p>\n
The county was awarded a grant from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for $79,200 to resurface nearly 2 miles of Holsclaw Hill Road from state Road 1526 to the Jefferson County line. It is a frequently traveled road with more than a dozen residents in need of improved road conditions.<\/p>\n
Aside from road and internet improvements, Mt. Washington will use $480,833 to expand clean water access to more than a dozen residents on Foster Lane.<\/p>\n
The grant money is allowing the city to begin a project that will connect the 14 residents to city water.<\/p>\n
The funding for necessary projects in the county only reach the tip of the iceberg for what is required of infrastructure to match the massive growth.<\/p>\n
The county government said the projects will begin in the next few months, providing a positive start for the direction in which Bullitt County must go.
