Lt. Gov. announces $16M in Funding to Central KY communities From JT Henderson On Wednesday, October 26, 2022, Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Coleman delivered $16,595,296 in infrastructure and education funding to Green, Hart and Taylor counties. The funding comes through Gov. Andy Beshear's Cleaner Water Program, his Better Schools Program, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Transportation Alternatives Program. Among the awards was more than $6 million per county for school renovation projects in both Green and Taylor, in addition to $2 million for water projects in the Green-Taylor Water District . "Investments in our education and infrastructure, such as high-speed internet, clean water, roads and bridges, provide Kentucky a solid foundation for building tomorrow's economy, today," said Lt. Gov. Coleman. "What excites me, as a rural Kentuckian, is that opportunity is coming to all corners of the commonwealth." In Green County, the Lieutenant Governor awarded:
"We are thrilled to accept the Better Schools Program funding to be utilized for additions and renovations at the Green County Area Technology Center," Green County Schools Superintendent Will Hodges said. "This funding will expand opportunities for the students of Green County and surrounding communities. Our district is one of 14 districts to receive a 'very high' rating on postsecondary readiness. This funding will continue to help us ensure that students leave our institution prepared for college or a career." In Taylor County, the Lieutenant Governor awarded:
"This is an instant where the needed infrastructure creates exponential opportunities in our communities, and I am especially delighted to see upgrades to our vocational schools where so many young people can learn a trade, find a vocation and become contributing members of their communities," Sen. David Givens of Greensburg said. "This is the next step in fulfilling a commitment to Kentucky students looking to learn skills that will help them find a successful path to the workforce," Rep. Michael Sarge Pollock of Campbellsville said. "I'm proud of the legislature for allocating the money and appreciate the administration's role in getting it out to the vocational schools who need it. This is yet another part of Bam Carney's legacy and I am honored to see it become reality." "This money is going to help people in our community find opportunities and get good jobs," Taylor County Judge/Executive Barry Smith said. "We want to thank the state for this transformational investment. It's going to do a lot of good for years to come." "We feel honored to be chosen as a recipient of Better Schools Program grant funds from the State of Kentucky," Taylor County Schools Superintendent Charles Higdon Jr. said. "It is our full intention to further utilize these funds to continue the creation of the most highly efficient and effective career development program in the commonwealth. Our program will offer opportunities to students, as well as adults, and specifically work to eliminate joblessness and financial hardships, which have generationally plagued many families throughout our community and state. Additionally, our partnership with Campbellsville University to offer an even higher level of seamless career and technical certifications, will prove to be a model collaboration for the state of Kentucky. I praise God for the blessing!" In Hart County, the Lieutenant Governor awarded:
"Upgrading our local communities with higher quality roads provides access where businesses can grow and families can flourish," Sen. David Givens of Greensburg said. "I'm delighted to see so many improvements in Hart County that will have a positive effect for our small business owners and their families." "I'm grateful that the Lieutenant Governor is bringing attention to how these projects will benefit Hart County," Rep. Brandon Reed of Hodgenville said. "I am proud of the work our budget committee put into figuring out how we can make the biggest impact with every dollar we allocate and look forward to continuing that approach as Vice Chair of the House Appropriations and Revenue Committee." "This funding is a game-changer for Hart County," Hart County Judge/Executive Joe Choate said. "Making sure our roads are safe is a fundamental responsibility of government. Our road infrastructure is taking a big step forward because of today's announcement." "I am truly elated about the announcement of the sidewalk grant awarded to Horse Cave," Horse Cave Mayor Randall Curry said. "This will allow Horse Cave to replace sidewalks that are not compatible for motorized wheelchairs and improve the ability of walking traffic to be able to navigate on level and wider surfaces."
