City of Prospect approves 2024 Code of Ordinances and nominates Mandy Paul to Board

Residents of Prospect, KY, can look forward to improved emergency response services following a significant development discussed during the July 17, 2025, City Council meeting. The council announced that they have reached a resolution with Oldham County to streamline emergency calls for residents living in areas that straddle the county line. This change will allow calls from the affected neighborhoods to be directed to Prospect's police officers, enhancing response times and service efficiency.

Tony, a council member, highlighted the collaborative efforts with Oldham County officials, including Chief Greg Smith, to resolve a technological hurdle that previously complicated emergency reporting. With this new system in place, residents will no longer face confusion over which county's services to contact, ensuring that help is dispatched promptly.

In addition to this critical update, the council also approved the second reading of an ordinance adopting the 2024 supplement to the city’s code of ordinances. This measure ensures that all previous ordinances are officially incorporated into the city’s legal framework, maintaining clarity and consistency in local governance.

The meeting also saw the nomination of Mandy Paul to the City of Prospect Forestation Board, which was unanimously approved, reflecting the council's commitment to community engagement and environmental stewardship.

Another key topic was the resolution approving a revised development plan for the Prospect Point Shopping Center. Asa Harris from Harris Development Partners presented the redevelopment plans, which aim to revitalize the shopping center and enhance the local economy.

These decisions mark a proactive approach by the City Council to address community needs and improve services, setting a positive trajectory for Prospect's future. As these initiatives move forward, residents can anticipate a more responsive emergency service and a revitalized commercial area that supports local businesses.
