City Council to Vote on Stormwater Infrastructure Upgrades Tonight

Radcliff, KY · July 14, 2026

The humidity is holding steady this morning, but the skies are clear for the evening commute. If you are heading toward City Hall later, expect a fuller parking lot than usual as the mid-month session tackles some long-awaited neighborhood improvements.

📰 The Lead

The City Council meets tonight to decide on a $1.2 million proposal aimed at overhauling the aging stormwater drainage system, specifically targeting the Rogersville area. Following the heavy downpours last month that left several residential streets underwater, public works officials have fast-tracked this bid to replace undersized culverts and reinforce basin walls.

The project is designed to mitigate the flash flooding that has increasingly plagued local basements during summer storms. If the council approves the contract this evening, crews are expected to begin staging equipment near the affected neighborhoods by the end of the month. Residents living near the construction zones can expect a briefing on temporary lane closures during the public comment portion of the meeting, which begins at 6:30 PM.
