McLean County vetting architects for senior center rebuild By Brady Williams | March 15, 2021 at 8:15 PM CDT - Updated March 15 at 10:40 PM
MCLEAN CO., Ky. (WFIE) - When the McLean County Senior Center burned down in December, Director Scott Settle still went out to deliver meals.

”We haven’t missed a day since the building burned,” Settle said.
He says that it’s important to not only to keep his seniors fed, but to keep their community close-knit.
”Some people that we take food to, they’re sitting in a dark house, and when we open the door, it’s just like a ray of sunshine to them,” he explained.
When the jail inmate contract between Daviess and McLean counties ended Dec. 1, part of that included an agreement between animal shelters.
McLean County Judge-Executive Curtis Dame said McLean County was paying Daviess County $18,000 a year to house its animals.
âLooking forward, we can take that $18,000 that we paid and put it back into running the shelter here,â Dame said.
Dame said he and Animal Control Officer Billy Jones have been in contact with shelters in other counties to see if there was interest in assisting McLean County.
Dame said the network that he and Jones are working on now would allow them access to 24 shelters.
