Fiscal court adopts $723,000 LARP road grant to repave eight county roads
Summary
Grant County Fiscal Court voted July 7 to accept $723,000 in LARP FD-14 funds from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to repave eight county roads; the judge said a docket typo about Eckler Road's length will be corrected before signing the agreement.
Grant County Fiscal Court voted July 7 to accept $723,000 in Local Agency Road Program (LARP) FD-14 funds from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to repave eight county roads.
During the discussion Judge Chuck Dils said the county identified a typographical error in the agreement: Eckler Road had been listed at 0.487 miles in the paperwork but the correct length is 1.6 miles. The judge said he would sign an updated agreement with that correction. The resolution as read lists the eight roads covered by the grant as Eckler Road, Kells Road, Reeves Road, Slick Ridge Road, Oak Ridge Road, Chapman Road, Whitechapel Road and Wainscott Road.
A magistrate moved to adopt Resolution 2026-05 to accept the $723,000 and another magistrate seconded the motion. The court voted in favor and the resolution carried. The adopted resolution ratifies and accepts the terms of the grant agreement and authorizes the judge executive to sign on the fiscal court's behalf.
Why it matters: the LARP funds support resurfacing and repairs on county-owned roads. The judge said the funding will cover repaving for the listed roads this year, and that he expects the corrected agreement to be returned by the Transportation Cabinet for signature.
What remains unclear: the transcript records the corrected Eckler Road length and the judge's intent to sign the corrected agreement, but does not include a copy of the signed MOU or a construction schedule. The court did not specify anticipated start dates for the work.
