June 18—FRANKFORT — The City of Corbin was included in a state funding announcement last week aimed at improving communities.
The city has been awarded $351,000 to help renovate the kitchen at the senior center on Barbourville Street. The center currently provides 80 meals (both home and home delivery) per day.
The funding comes from Kentucky’s Community Development Block Grant – Community Projects (CDBG-CP) program, administered by Kentucky’s Department for Local Government. It was part of a larger announcement from Gov. Andy Beshear last Thursday of $8.5 million for 12 projects across the commonwealth.
“Kentucky is seeing amazing progress in sectors like health care and tourism, which support our thriving economy,” said Governor Beshear. “When we invest in our communities, we make investments that help improve the lives of our families and support economic growth and new jobs.”
A total of $29,752,870 in CDBG-CP funding has been approved since 2020.
