The following counties received grants: Adair, Breathitt, Butler, Floyd, Green, Hart, Henderson, Johnson, LaRue, Lawrence, Madison, Magoffin, Marshall, Metcalfe, Pike, Warren, Whitley and Wolfe.

Letter: familiar skyline behind Parnell family Philip Hanna writes: Just a comment on the Jeffersonville waterfront, with the Parnell family; Jeffersonville has done amazing things with the Ohio waterfront, the walking bridge to Louisville, public benches overlooking the Ohio, downtown businesses and restaurants, and a waterfront amphitheater. Wandering the waterfront one can view the Louisville skyline, the fossil beds at the Falls of the Ohio, the gold painted Second Street Bridge, and more. I worked in Jeffersonville from 1976 to 1991 and the changes are quite wonderful.
