Historic Preservation Grant (May 2005)

In February 2005 the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission applied for a Kentucky Heritage Grant through the Kentucky Heritage Council Federal Survey and Planning Fund to continue surveying historic properties within Kenton County. Funding in the amount of $17,400 was awarded in May 2005 for these purposes. This funding with matching funds and in-kind services from NKAPC is being used to survey historic structures in the cities of Lakeside Park, Bromley, Villa Hills, Crestview Hills, Park Hills, Fort Wright, Ludlow, Edgewood and Crescent Springs. This is the third grant received from the Kentucky Heritage Council to continue building the database of historic structures within Kenton County. For more details click here.

Cinergy Grant (June 2005)

The NKAPC commenced a study of an area in south Kenton County called the South Banklick Small Area Study in early 2005. A grant application in the amount of $7,500 was submitted to Cinergy Corporation as part of their Cinergy Community Success Grants program. The NKAPC was awarded $5,000 to assist in studying approx. 1,700 acres of land in southern Kenton County identified for industrial development for over 20 years in the Kenton County Comprehensive Plan. The grant dollars combined with matching funds and in-kind services from NKAPC will be used to hire a consultant to assist the NKAPC staff in developing a plan for the area. The consultant will provide detailed 3D visualization, design, graphics, and other services that will be essential in communicating the vision and intent of this project to the public and interested business investors.
