FRANKFORT, Ky. - Senate President Robert Stiversâ (R-Manchester) bill that would allow the City of Corbin to annex into southern Laurel County is moving to the Senate Floor for vote, after it was passed out of the Standing Committee on State and Local Government Friday afternoon by a vote of 8-2.Â
Senate Bill 274 (SB 274) has drawn the attention of local county and city officials as it would allow Corbin to annex property in Laurel County, but only to the extent of its utility infrastructure already in place. Current law prevents cities like Corbin, who has two of its precincts in Knox County and five of its precincts in Whitley County, from annexing into a third county.

KY State Senator pushing for regional vaccination clinic in District 4
KY State Senator pushing for regional vaccination clinic in District 4 By Joseph Payton | February 1, 2021 at 5:59 PM CST - Updated February 2 at 5:22 AM
HENDERSON, KY. (WFIE) - Last week when Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced four new regional vaccination clinics, State Senator Robby Mills was disappointed that District 4 was not represented.
“There are no regional vaccination destinations that were on the governor’s map. There’s some confusion on why that’s happening and why there wasn’t any, particularly in Henderson that folks could get to,” said Mills.
Mills has since been in contact with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which cites vaccine supply as the problem. The commonwealth administered 83,000 doses in the previous week but only received 69,000.

Vision 2025, as I introduced in my last column, is an ambitious and community-based economic development strategy designed to increase prosperity in Hays and Caldwell Counties.
In order for an economic development strategy to be realized and truly reflect the aspirations of the region, community participation, feedback and input are required. This is where the Vision 2025 Steering Committee played a critical role in developing this strategy.
