During the Bourbon County Commission meeting on November 14, 2024, officials provided a crucial update on the ongoing recovery efforts following recent road damages in the area. The commission reported significant progress in addressing the 706 identified road damage issues, with 647 repairs already completed. This leaves 59 remaining projects, some of which are expected to be extensive, particularly those involving damaged bridges.

Dustin, a key team member involved in the recovery efforts, highlighted the challenges ahead, noting that while many repairs have been made, the remaining projects will require considerable time and resources to complete. The commission emphasized the importance of these repairs for ensuring safe travel and accessibility for residents.

In addition to road repairs, the commission also discussed the status of brush pickup operations. Out of 202 locations designated for cleanup, 65 have been completed, with 37 still pending. The brush pickup is scheduled to be finished by early January, indicating a focused effort to restore the community's landscape.

As the commission continues to work closely with FEMA to identify additional damage and secure necessary funding, residents are reminded that all damage claims must be submitted by this Sunday. This deadline is critical for ensuring that the community receives the support needed for a full recovery. The commission's proactive approach reflects its commitment to addressing the needs of Bourbon County residents and restoring normalcy in the aftermath of the recent damages.
