Several citizens attended the first night fiscal court meeting of 2017 last night in the upstairs courtroom of the Edmonson County Courthouse.

Among various standard reports and business, several county offices gave year-end reports and updates. 

​Road Report: County Road Foreman Ray Page said that some minor issues with the new county truck were repaired and he updated the court on the bridges that were recently underwater: Willie Webb Road, Black Gold Road, and Cedar Grove Church Road, but all were reopened this past weekend. 

​Parks & Rec: Program Director discussed and attributed last year's success to the community, which provided much help to Parks and Rec. He thanked the road dept. for repairs on walking trail at Chalybeate, and discussed the expansion of the disc golf course from 18 to 27 holes thanks to disc golf club. He said Chalybeate park now can hold more tournaments in 2017 and said that over 500 people from 14 different states attended one tournament alone in 2016. He also said the park was planning on adding projection movies to the park this year instead of the concerts in the park.

Tourism: Director Rhonda Clemmons announced that a new festival was being put in place that will be held somewhere in the county on May 20th, 2017.

South Central KY Movie Industry Contribution: The Fiscal Court, Industrial Authority, and Tourism Board are each paying $1500 as their portion of the $5000 annual due to join the SCKY Movie Industry. The EC Chamber of Commerce is paying $500 due to what they said was a limited budget.
