Coffey County officials are taking decisive action to clean up a local area, with plans to remove debris and prepare for future development. During the recent Coffey County Commission meeting on December 2, 2024, Commissioner Huguenen highlighted the need to haul off a fallen tree and other materials from a site adjacent to a trailer home. The area is being cleaned up in anticipation of a new house being built, transforming it into a vacant lot temporarily.

The commission unanimously approved a motion to waive landfill fees for the cleanup, signaling a commitment to improving the community's appearance and safety. "The area out there is getting cleaned up pretty good. Yeah. It's looking nice," remarked one commissioner, emphasizing the positive changes underway.

In addition to the cleanup efforts, updates were provided on ongoing construction projects in the county. Progress is being made on various building sites, with roofing and steel wall panel installations underway. The construction team is working diligently to meet deadlines, with hopes of completing significant phases of the project soon.

As Coffey County continues to prioritize community improvement and development, these initiatives reflect a proactive approach to enhancing local living conditions and infrastructure. The commission's actions are expected to pave the way for future growth and revitalization in the area.
