New Eateries Hiring Locally Ahead of Fall Openings
Radcliff, KY · September 21, 2026
The festival crowds and parade floats on Lincoln Trail Boulevard have packed up, leaving behind a quiet start to the workweek and a slate of evening public hearings just down the road.
The Lead
Hardin County magistrates are stepping in to pump the brakes on the regional rush for computing infrastructure. At tomorrow evening's meeting, Fiscal Court will hold the first reading of Ordinance No. 349, a measure that enacts a temporary moratorium on all rezoning applications and conditional use permits for commercial data centers. With high-voltage facilities and massive energy demands expanding across central Kentucky, county leadership wants local zoning rules firmly established before developers secure acreage. The pause gives the Planning Commission time to draft binding standards covering power consumption, water cooling needs, noise buffers, and rural land protection. Tuesday's 5:30 PM session at the Hardin County Government Center in Elizabethtown opens the floor for public comment on the ordinance before magistrates take their initial roll-call vote.

Spotlight & Story
- The Public Square Cannonball
- Look high up the brickwork at 39 Public Square in Elizabethtown to spot a 12-pound Civil War cannonball fired during Morgan's 1862 raid. When fire gutted the block in 1887, local resident Annie Nourse salvaged the iron sphere and saw it remounted into the new wall.
