Officials in Paris, KY Break Ground on New Recycling Convenience Center

Joining community members from Paris, Ky., Gov. Andy Beshear, D-KY, was on hand to break group for a new recycling convenience center.

The ceremony took place early this week and the governor’s office has said that the new center will replace the current waste transfer station in the West Side neighborhood. Kentucky’s Community Development Block Grant funded $2 million for the project, with another $1.5 million approved by the governor and General Assembly.

"Every Kentuckian deserves to live in a healthy and clean environment," Beshear said. "Today marks a huge step forward for Paris and for the health and safety of Kentuckians. We’re investing in every community across the commonwealth as we build a brighter future for everyone."

“This project is the culmination of a lot of hard work and leadership from our community members,” said Paris Mayor John Plummer. “This is a milestone project for Paris and Bourbon County. Days like this are possible when local and state leaders work together for our people.”
