In a recent government meeting, officials discussed several key topics, including the timeline for relocating offices, upcoming election details, and community events.
The relocation of state offices is set for late November to early December, pending coordination with the Commonwealth Office of Technology to ensure secure network transitions. Officials confirmed that this move will not cause delays in transitioning to the new library.
In election-related news, a postcard will be mailed to every household, providing essential information about voting. However, the election plan submitted was not approved in time to include specific voting locations. Instead, the postcard features a QR code directing residents to the official website for details on voting locations and dates. Officials anticipate a significant turnout, estimating around 40,000 voters, which is approximately 80% of registered voters.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted an upcoming event at the Veterans Memorial Park of Kentucky, scheduled for September 7 at 11 AM. This event will commemorate 9/11 and feature new monuments, including a piece of steel from Ground Zero. Captain Frank Stewart, a retired US Navy officer, will serve as the keynote speaker.
The meeting also introduced Gretchen Winslow, the new Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent for Oldham County, who expressed her enthusiasm for engaging with the community. The extension district board presented their budget for the upcoming year, signaling ongoing support for local agricultural initiatives.
Overall, the meeting underscored the local government's commitment to community engagement, efficient operations, and honoring significant historical events.
