In a pivotal meeting on April 2, 2024, the Scott County Board of Supervisors took significant steps towards promoting fair housing and enhancing community facilities. The board unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing the concept of fair housing, aimed at ensuring equal opportunities for all residents in Scott County. This resolution prohibits discrimination in housing based on various factors, including race, religion, and gender identity. The board appointed Miss Freda R. Starnes as the Fair Housing Administrator, tasked with investigating complaints and promoting awareness of fair housing practices.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted the successful utilization of the Nicholsville park facility, which saw over 5,000 users last year. The park's building was rented out 109 times, showcasing its importance to the community. However, the park's maintenance needs were also addressed, with a request for $1,750 to repaint the main building to prevent further deterioration. The board approved this funding, emphasizing the facility's role in community activities and events.
These discussions reflect Scott County's commitment to fostering an inclusive environment and maintaining vital community resources, setting the stage for continued development and support for its residents.
