The Elizabethtown City Council met for their final meeting of 2025 Monday.
The council approved three municipal orders related to Downtown E-Town. Downtown Redevelopment Grants were approved for 109 South Main Street for $20,908.15 (Hub Haus LLC) and 127 North Main Street for $30,490.27 (Elizabethtown Renaissance Associates). A lease agreement for 226 South Main Street with Logistics Solutions LLC was also approved. City Attorney Ken Howard said the city is negotiating to include stipulations for early termination of the lease.
“We have been discussing with the lessee, Logistic Solutions, the possibility of an early termination,” Howard said. “The original term is five years. If in the event the city needs that property before a five-year time period, we could terminate it earlier.”
The first reading was held on an ordinance to rezone 2916 Dolphin Drive from Neighborhood Commercial (C-2) to Regional Commercial (C-3). The first reading was also held on an ordinance that amends the city’s code for setting city council meetings and other board and commission meetings to reflect the move from the Pritchard Community Center to the new city council chambers located in the former Kentucky High School Basketball Hall of Fame, located at 212 West Dixie Avenue.
“We’ve had a lot of work in Mr. Addington’s building to make it a wonderful city council chamber,” said Elizabethtown Mayor Jeff Gregory. “I think you all will be pleased with what it looks like and everybody will have a comfortable chair except Marty (Fulkerson). I look forward to having meetings in there, and I think you all will enjoy it as well. It gives us a lot more room, it’s a little more professional, and it’s going to be a good situation.”
The Elizabethtown City Council will meet in their new chambers at their next meeting on January 5.
