New Owsley County economic development coordinator outlines kayaking mapping and river debris‑removal drone project
Summary
County introduced a new economic development coordinator, who said the office is mapping kayak access north of the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River and planning a debris‑estimation drone project for rivers.
County staff introduced Chris, the new economic development coordinator, who said he is working on multiple outdoor‑recreation and river‑cleanup initiatives.
Chris told commissioners the office is mapping kayak access north of the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River and working with Backyards of Appalachia on a Sturgeon Creek facility. He also said staff have requested drone attachments that will allow the county to estimate debris volume in rivers as part of a debris‑removal project extending into the fall.
County staff asked commissioners and other departments to reach out to the coordinator if they need assistance; Chris offered to share contact information and provide creative support for related projects. No formal action or funding appropriation for these initiatives was recorded during the meeting.
