Legislative Priority One: Increased funding for road improvements. Roads are still a huge issue for our county. Funding for road improvements needs to be consistent as the transition to electric vehicles moves forward. Highway 86 towards Hardin County is a priority for Breckinridge County. Expansion of funding for roads, especially for the Highway 86 project, would be a high priority for our county. A major concern is the loss of revenue as more electric vehicles are using our roads and less revenue is received from fuel sales at the pump. Legislative Priority Two: Expanded water for our county. Although the City of Hardinsburg is in control of water in our county, there are many homes that do not have access to clean water, and expansion of water is a big issue for several citizens. More funding to help them receive water is a major priority for us. Legislative Priority Three: Expanded access to broadband throughout the county. More funding to expand internet access throughout the county is a major issue to our county. We are a huge county and many areas still do not have access to dependable internet service as more people are working from home.

Legislative Priority One: Funding for Expanding the Hardinsburg Water Treatment Plant. The City of Hardinsburg provides water for most of Breckinridge County. Our current water treatment plant is nearing capacity, which limits our ability to recruit further commercial and industrial projects throughout the county. We have otherwise competitive industrial sites available and do not want to lose job opportunities for our residents due to an inability to provide water. Legislative Priority Two: Funding for Improvements to Highway 86. Highway 86 is the primary route connecting Breckinridge and Hardin Counties. Hundreds of Breckinridge County residents who drive to Elizabethtown every day to work or to attend college use this road, which is so narrow and curvy it can be unsafe. The condition of Highway 86 has long been a hindrance to economic development in our county as well. Legislative Priority Three: Increased Funding for the Breckinridge County Area Technology Center. The Breckinridge County Area Technology Center has been preparing students for successful entry into the workforce for over 50 years. The school's programs, including machining, welding, industrial maintenance, and nursing, have continuously adapted to best suit the needs of regional employers. However, they are operating on impractically small budgets, which limits the opportunities our staff can provide for students. The economic growth our region has seen over the past few years is not sustainable without a well-trained workforce. It is imperative that we properly fund this school and all of Kentucky's Area Technology Centers.

Additional Priorities: • Funding for expanding the sewer system in the Breckinridge County Commerce

Park. • Support for federal funding for the rehabilitation of the Rough River Dam.

Please note: Outgoing Mayor Yvonne Kennedy offered these legislative priorities and shared with Mayor Lucas at submission.

Legislative Priority One: Replace old water lines within the city The city has numerous old water lines within the city that need to be replaced due to water loss, which is causing the city to lose money.

Legislative Priority Two: Additional water/sewer services for possible new annexations to the city. The city is going to have the opportunity to have an industrial park within the city limits. This will bring cause for additional water/sewer lines to accommodate the new businesses that will build in that industrial park.

Legislative Priority Three: A new Public Works Facility with a breakroom, restrooms, and storage for equipment. At present, the city has a maintenance building that lacks many things that are needed present day. A facility that would be able to hold a breakroom, restrooms, and storage of equipment is much needed for the employees of the city and to keep our equipment safe from the elements.
