Interlocal Safety Facility Approved — Local News and Events Inside
Radcliff, KY · August 24, 2026
Stepping into Monday brings clear skies and a fresh slate of local updates after an active weekend across the county. Here is what you need to know to get your week moving.
The Lead
City leaders have finalized an interlocal agreement with Elizabethtown to construct a shared law enforcement shooting range on Gaither Station Road. For years, local police officers had to compete for limited training time at the Hardin County landfill range against state and federal agencies.
The new joint facility gives local officers dedicated access for required marksmanship certifications and tactical scenario training. By pooling municipal resources, both communities share maintenance costs while ensuring officers stay fully certified without scheduling delays.
Site engineering plans are moving forward this week, with initial ground clearing expected later this fall before range construction begins.
