CJE Mike Stephens & Holly Grimsley 2015-01-20 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, kY - Photo by Larry Smith, FM 92.7 the WAVE; FM 99.9 The Big Dawg. Judge Mike Stephens is an excited man. He's told me today in an interview for the people to Adair County to get ready for things to pop. He said that the Heartland Parkway is going to be a reality, that the hospital will be saved and the people will be happy with the solution. He said that the transition from Judge Melton's to his administration was probably the best one ever in Kentucky because she has been a great help to him turning over all eight years of records so that he could build on the successes. Interviews will be part of the top-of-the hour local news casts on Wednesday, January 21, 2015 on The WAVE and The Big Dawg. -- Larry Smith, operations manager, FM 92.7 the WAVE; FM 99.9 The Big Dawg Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

CJE Mike Stephens at C/AC Economic Development meeting 2015-01-20 - 201 Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener .

He was accompanied by his Deputy CJE, Holly Grimsley, who asked the EDA to front a $10,000 engineering fee to accelerate engineering work for a Build-Ready Site in Green River Commerce Park. The idea got a warm reception. EDA Chair Dan Antle altered the sequence of events, however, asking that consultation with EDA in Frankfort precede the loan. Antle said a special meeting could be called to make the advance after that. The front money would be repaid from an anticipated Appalachian Regional Commission grant expected through work with the Lake Cumberland Area Development District.
