Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Campbell County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
A.J. Jolly Lake dredging and spillway projects
Commissioners report the massive silt-removal project at the lake is about 50% done in Flatwoods Cove, where 11 feet of silt has accumulated in a 12-foot-deep cove. The dam spillway work is on schedule for late-year completion.
Northern Kentucky Housing Fund launch
The county is lending $2 million to get the new regional housing fund off the ground. The fund makes low-interest loans so apartment and housing projects — including ones serving workers making $35,000-$50,000 — can actually get built here.
Detention Center kitchen and roof projects
Design contracts were signed for a jail kitchen renovation and roof repairs, the first step before bidding those construction jobs.
Public Safety Building guaranteed maximum price
The county locked in the construction price for the new Public Safety Building at $38.18 million — the biggest single capital commitment discussed.
Police body armor grant application
The police department will apply for free ballistic helmets and armor plates covering 41 sworn officers.
BE NKY Growth Partnership funding
The county committed $75,000 a year for five years as seed money for BE NKY's capital campaign, which funds projects like Trades NKY headquartered in Campbell County.
