Court asks city to share cost of leasing former economic development office for tourism
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court voted to ask the City to split the cost of leasing the county's former economic development office for tourism use for 12 months; the Tourism director said the lease would centralize records and public access.
Spencer County Fiscal Court voted Feb. 3 to ask the city whether it would share the cost of leasing the county's former economic-development office so the county's tourism program can use the space for 12 months.
Tourism representatives described the lease as a way to centralize records and provide the public with an accessible office location; the Tourism director said current operations are scattered ("My office right now is in Bardstown in my kitchen," she said). The meeting record includes two named tourism staff: Catherine and Adriana (roles not otherwise specified). Court members debated cost and long-term sustainability; the court approved a motion to contact the city and request a shared expense for a 12-month lease trial.
A motion by Zach, seconded by Mike, carried by voice vote directing county leadership to contact the city and ask that it consider splitting the lease costs for 12 months. The county will report back to the court after the city considers the request.
