94.3 THE WOLF Country That'll Make You Howl!
Folks traveling south this Memorial Day weekend can stop at the best maintained rest stop in Kentucky on the way home.
The northbound Interstate 65 rest area near Horse Cave in Hart County was presented with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Best Maintained Rest Area Award this week, the first time in the 24-year history of the award the Hart County location has been honored.
Transportation cabinet judges select the award recipient based on seven categories that are scored during unannounced quarterly inspections of all of the state’s rest areas. The Hart County location received perfect scores for its family restroom, lobby, and staff.
The transportation cabinet says the Hart County rest area is one of the largest such facilities in the state with more than 100 parking spaces, handicap-accessible and pet-friendly areas, and stocked vending machines and picnic areas.
Community Services Project Inc. operates Kentucky’s rest areas. The nonprofit employs about 400 disabled workers. CSP and employees of Department of Highways District Four were presented with certificates this week in recognition of the award.
