During Monday's Fiscal Court meeting, McCracken County officials approved a payment of $1,325 to local artist, Nikki D. May, for design work on the unity water tower banner project.
McCracken County Judge Executive Craig Clymer says he believes they have settled on a design and are ready to move forward with the project.
He said, "We wanted to get this just right and I think now we have it just right. So I think we have the design, and now we're going to work on deciding what the actual project will cost and we'll be poised to actually start asking the community for some money to afford this."
Clymer clarified that the project will be funded by donations and not taxpayer money. Although they haven't started actively fundraising yet, he says they have already received several thousand dollars in donations from people hearing about the project without being asked to donate.
