Local leaders were in Oak Grove Tuesday morning for the Christian County Chamber of Commerce State of the Community Breakfast, giving updates on projects and progress in their communities.
Oak Grove Mayor Theresa Jarvis welcomed the crowd to Valor Hall and noted the recent announcement that Buc-ee’s is opening one of its super-sized convenience stores on KY 115 near I-24.
Hopkinsville Mayor Wendell Lynch outlined his budget proposal and says the Hopkinsville Police Department is using technology to help in its fight to bring down a crime rate that spiked last year after it was down in 2020 with the pandemic.
Christian County Treasurer Walter Cummings summarized the budget recently passed by fiscal court and says the fiber broadband expansion project by Pennyrile Electric and Hopkinsville Electric System should be complete in Christian County by April of next year.
Judge-Executive Steve Tribble praised county employees and the fiscal court magistrates for working across political party lines.
We will air all of the remarks Sunday morning at 9 on Don’t Be Afraid to Say It on Lite Rock 98.7 and online at lite987whop.com.
