Councilman asks for facts-and-figures briefing on Ascend Elements, Kitchen Foods; mayor aims for March meeting
Summary
Councilman requested that economic development partners present factual updates on Ascend Elements and Kitchen Foods; the mayor said he would try to schedule the briefing at the second March council meeting.
Councilman Craven asked the Hopkinsville City Council to invite the city's economic development partners to provide a factual briefing on two local projects, Ascend Elements and Kitchen Foods, and said he wanted questions and answers rather than promotional material.
"I think we would like at least I would like to see facts and figures and question and answers, not marketing," Craven said, asking the mayor to schedule the briefing at the council's earliest convenience. The mayor replied, "I will push for that to be on the second meeting of March." He said he would place the item on the agenda for the requested meeting.
The exchange did not include a formal motion or vote; council members voiced general agreement that they wanted an informational presentation rather than a marketing pitch. No details about the projects (timelines, incentives, or financial terms) were provided during the public portion of the meeting, and the council did not request specific documents in the recorded exchange.
Council staff said they would add the item to the meeting agenda for March as described by the mayor.
