HENDERSON, Ky. (WFIE) - Big plans are being made for the old Henderson Armory on Elm Street.
At Thursdayâs Rotary Club meeting, Mayor Steve Austin said the Cliff Hagan Boys and Girls Club Henderson Unit will eventually move into the armory. The club currently operates out of the Community Baptist Church.
The move could provide a big expansion for the club.
âWe have a daily capacity of 150 youth who can attend the club, now obviously with COVID â itâs a little bit different,â Ryan Bibb, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Club said. âBut thatâs our operating capacity at our current facility, but the armory would allow us to serve 300 youth capacity.â

HENDERSON, Ky. (WFIE) - The future of Ellis Park could be in jeopardy, and the issue has nothing to do with action on the track.
For over 10 years, Ellis Park’s Historical Horse Racing (HHR) machines have been a huge hit with customers, as well as a financial boom to the track. However, the Kentucky Supreme Court recently ruled these games as illegal.
If this decision is not overturned, track officials told 14 News that Ellis Park would have to close.
