Union County Fiscal Court magistrates learned during Tuesday morning’s meeting that an application has been received for installation of a transfer station. Judge Jody Jenkins told magistrates the application was submitted Friday morning.

County Attorney Brucie Moore said that Judge Jenkins has about a month to review the application.

Judge Jenkins informed the court and Gus Kanipe of Tri County Waste the application has to be reviewed before the process moves forward.

In other discussions, magistrates were informed the reduced load limit on the Little Mason Creek Bridge on KY 359 has been raised from three ton to a ten ton limit.
