Spencer County approves joint resolution to support Stidger House preservation funding
Summary
The Fiscal Court approved a joint resolution with the Department for Local Government endorsing collaborative administration of $300,000 in legislative funding for the Felix Grundy Stidger Historic Preservation Foundation and authorizing annual reporting to the legislature.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court unanimously approved a joint resolution supporting the Felix Grundy Stidger Historic Preservation Foundation’s administration of $300,000 in legislative preservation funding. The resolution, identified in the minutes as County Resolution No. 13‑FY2026, affirms the county’s support and calls for collaboration with the Kentucky Department for Local Government to administer, monitor and report on the renovation program.
County Judge Executive Scott Travis explained that the Stidger House received $300,000 from the legislature but that the funds will flow through the foundation, and the resolution formalizes the county’s participation in oversight and reporting. The resolution was passed by voice vote and is entered in the minutes with the judge’s signature and the county clerk’s attestation.
The resolution requires ongoing cooperation between the Department for Local Government and the foundation, and it asks the legislature and stakeholders to consider funding to preserve the historical site in Taylorsville and Spencer County.
