The Perry County Fiscal Court meeting held on December 17, 2024, focused on significant funding approvals for local housing projects and grant allocations. The court discussed the Home Buyout Program, specifically approving design contracts for properties funded through FEMA grant dollars. The total amount approved for these contracts was $13,900 for a property on Highway 476 and $15,775 for another on Cobble Creek Lane.

In addition to the home buyout discussions, the court addressed the Skyview Housing Development project. They approved multiple draw requests and payments totaling over $306,000 from the Kentucky Infrastructure Authority (KIA) and the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC). The court emphasized the urgency of utilizing these grant funds, noting the limited timeframe available for disbursement.

The meeting concluded with motions and unanimous approvals for both the home buyout contracts and the Skyview project funding, reflecting the court's commitment to advancing local housing initiatives. The successful passage of these measures is expected to enhance community development and support ongoing recovery efforts in Perry County.
