Ben Loy and Jason Grider were in attendance at the last Fiscal Court meeting to continue questioning what is being done. Both have poultry businesses and are heating with propane which is much more expensive than natural gas. The County would have to establish a gas district, or partner, which is being explored. The City Gas Department is applying for a grant through the Lake Cumberland Area Development District which would answer the need. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
