OBTAINING COUNTY SUPPORT

On August 26th, the consultant met with the Breathitt County Fiscal Court, updated them on the progress of the initiative, shared with them maps that have been created thus far, and requested their support on a public nuisance issue that is limiting adventure tourism opportunities in one section of the county.  The Fiscal Court was also asked to sign a resolution and serve as the primary in a request for scenic byway designation in the southeast quadrant of the county and through three counties.  The resolution passed and the signed document is included in APPENDIX D of this document along with letters of support from both state representatives, state senator, Perry County Tourist Commission, Knott County Tourism Commission and others.

ACTION:   Obtain resolutions from both Knott and Perry County Fiscal Courts, complete state scenic byway application and submit to the KY Transportation Cabinet.
