Rep. Carney expected at Martin Luther King sign unveiling Unveiling will be at 10amCT, Mayor Hardwick says. Columbia Mayor Curtis Hardwick is expecting Rep. John Bam Carney (Ky 51 - Taylor and Adair Counties) to be present at a sign unveiling at 10amCT, to designate a stretch of Burkesville Street to the Louie B Nunn Cumberland Parkway at Exit 47, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King. Because parking is at a premium at the unveiling site, in front of Blake Hatcher's garden center, the event will be attended mostly by Kentucky Transportation Cabinet officials from District 8, local civil rights leaders, and members of City Council and Fiscal Court, and the Columbia/Adair Human Rights Commission, Mayor Hardwick said. Rep. Carney guided the bill through the Kentucky General Assembly to have the roadway designation made official. Mayor Hardwick said that the honor for MLK will not require any postal address changes. They will remain the same, just as Greensburg Road residents still have the same mailing addresses after the highway was named for Dakota Meyer. 2015-07-22 08:47:39 | Comments | Printable version
