Improvement Projects Approved for Waddy

SHELBYVILLE,KY- Shelby County Judge-Executive Rob Rothenburger and District 6 Magistrate Tony Carriss announce that two community improvement projects for Waddy have been approved by the Shelby County Fiscal Court.

The first project approved by the Fiscal Court is the restoration of 354 feet of sidewalk along KY395 (Waddy Road) south of Kings Highway. Gra-Kat Construction was awarded the bid in the amount of $6165.44 to remove the old walkway and construct the new sidewalk.

The second project approved by the Court was two fire hydrants to be constructed on KY 395 (Waddy Road) between Interstate 64 and Fairview Drive at a cost of $5700.00. Carriss stated in his address to the Fiscal Court on Tuesday that property owners could “realize an annual savings of approximately$342.00 on an example house valued at $100,000”. The project was supported by Waddy Fire Chief Darrell Brown who provided information that 42 residences and property owners would be affected. The fire hydrants will be part of a water line up-grade project sponsored by the East US 60 Water District which is scheduled to go out for bids in the next two weeks.
