By Mayor Curtis Hardwick

The past year has been one of great progress, with many accomplishements in Adair County, KY, but there are still challenges and opportunities we plan to meet in the New Year. I have listed what I consider most important in each category and, of course encourage continued input from the public. Briefly, here are my views on the past year and the urgent goals still before us:


Accomplishments for 2015
  1. We were able to cut the budget by $50,000.
  2. Myself along with the County Judge Executive and the Airport board worked well together this past year and the airport was rewarded with $500,000.
  3. We were able to blacktop streets for the first time in a few years.
  4. With our payroll tax money we have started to pay off some our debts.
  5. We were excited to see the new Hardee's and Sleep Inn being built.
  6. Passed a Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Ordinance and had several buildings and houses torn down and properties being cleaned up.
Looking Ahead to 2016, we will:
  1. Find more ways to reduce the budget, even more.
  2. Work closely with our Code Enforcement Officer to remove more abandoned houses and buildings.
  3. Work with the airport board on more exciting things to be done at the airport.
  4. Put the most intense effort into bringing more industry to our town and help local companies and businesses grow and prosper.
  5. Continue with an open door policy for employees and citizens.
  6. Looking forward to seeing the new Pinewood Shopping Center being built.
One last comment on No. 5 in looking ahead, our Open Door policy - it also extends to our meetings. I appreciate the compliments we have received for the a fresh interest in the affairs of city government, and the open discussions at our Council meetings, and hope to see the trend continue. You have friends, and you always get an ear at City Hall. - Curtis Hardwick, Mayor, City of Columbia, City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY.
