A few of our four-legged friends from Lexington Police Department visited Hamburg for the Holidays!
New medical center coming to Hamburg
New medical center coming to Hamburg and will be open by 2023. The center will span more than 100 acres at Polo Club Blvd near Man O’ War Blvd and I-75. In all, it will span across 129 acres. It is estimated to create between 600-700 new jobs for this area. The plans still have to be approved by the Urban County Planning Commission.
Future of Daylight Savings Time
Kentucky is among a growing number of states with hopes to remain on Daylight Savings time (“summertime”) year-round. This would mean even during the winter months, there would be an extra hour of darkness in the morning and an extra hour of daylight in the evening. A bill with similar intent was pre-filed in Frankfort before the 2020 General Assembly’s Regular Session. Since then, it has gained bipartisan support, as well as equal support from legislators in the Eastern and Central time zones.
