The Kenton County Fiscal Court is holding a public open house on July 22, to display findings of a research effort for the future of southern Kenton County.
If you live, work, play, or learn in southern Kenton County, please plan to attend the meeting anytime between 6-8 p.m. on July 22 at Piner Baptist Church (15044 Madison Pike, Morning View).
Over the last several months, the Fiscal Court has been working with Planning and Development Services of Kenton County (PDS) staff to conduct in-depth research for the south Kenton area.
The effort has reviewed everything from natural features to the location of infrastructure to gain as clear a picture as possible before moving from research to the planning phase.
Now, the county would like to get input on the research to date and any additional research needs before moving to the next phase of the project.
To best display the research, a public open house will be held to provide participants an opportunity to learn about topics in-depth, ask questions of staff, and provide input for official consideration. As the meeting is an open house, people can come any time that is convenient between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.
This meeting is part of an ongoing project seeking to update the Direction 2030 comprehensive plan for all communities in Kenton County.
This specific meeting will present research on existing conditions, describe trends that could impact southern Kenton County, and establish a foundation for updating the plan for the unincorporated area in the next phase of the project.
The associated research builds upon public involvement efforts that started in 2011, continued via surveys that were distributed to all south Kenton addresses in 2014 and 2016, and is ongoing in the form of the South Kenton Citizens Group.
Direction 2030: Your Voice, Your Choice is a strong public-engagement process intended to prepare Kenton County for the challenges and possibilities of the future. For more information, visit the project website.
