The Boyle County Fiscal Court approved a motion to purchase the Elizabeth Estes property at 820 Hoek Hollow Road in Junction City, comprising 42 acres and associated buildings, for the appraised price of $350,000. Magistrate Cohen moved the purchase and asked the judge executive to approach the City of Danville about splitting the purchase price; the court approved the motion and set a target closing date around Aug. 23, 2026.
