94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Hardin County Fiscal Court met for their first meeting of the month Tuesday.
Hardin County Clerk Brian D. Smith named Bluegrass Middle School student Alyson Marinich a Hardin County Election Ambassador in recognition of her winning the Kentucky Secretary of State’s Office’s “I Voted” sticker contest.
“These are folks here in our community and throughout the state who promote elections and encourage people to vote, and I don’t think there’s going to do anything more to encourage local people to vote than to get that one-of-a-kind ‘I Voted’ sticker,” Smith said.
Smith also informed the court and public that his office recently completed scanning and uploading 70 years of county election history. Those documents can be found on the county clerk’s office’s website.
Tim Asher with the Hardin County History Museum discussed the organization’s recent activity. Asher said the museum has adopted a cultural heritage plan which they hope to present to area communities in hopes of spurring “historic tourism.”
“We have lots of individuals who come to the museum,” Asher said. “They will go through it and they go ‘What else is there to do?’ and what we want to do is to give them exciting and interesting things to do where they will change their travel plans and stay one more day in Hardin County, or they will come back and go to see those programs.”
Hardin County Planning and Development Director Adam King said the number of permits filed with his office in 2025 is down from this point in 2024.
“I don’t have a crystal ball and can’t tell you exactly why that is, but I think some of it’s just what we’re experiencing on a daily basis, from market uncertainty going on right now, tariffs, interest rates, you name it,” King said
The court approved a resolution approving the lease agreement for accessibility equipment from Stryker Sales LLC. The agreement was previously approved by the court, but had to be rescinded in order to go through the proper bid process.
The Hardin County Fiscal Court will next meet September 23.
The Historic Judge Joseph Holt Home in Hardinsburg will be welcoming some special visitors to the property Thursday as the Glidden AAA Car Tour makes a stop. “This is a three to four day event where the Glidden AAA antique cars travel across America, and they’ll be coming from Owensboro to the Historic Holt Home beginning at 9:30 a.m. central time until 11,” said Friends of the Holt Home President Susan Dyer.
