Beaver Dam Rest Area Should Re-open in July

The Commonwealth of Kentucky is planning for the Beaver Dam rest area to re-open this summer.

State officials have issued a new request for proposals for the facility at mile marker 75 on the Western Kentucky Parkway.  

Interested parties can tour the site on February 8. Proposals will be due on March 8, and vendor selection is anticipated to occur in early April. The vendor will have three months to be operational, with the service area set to re-open in July. 

The request was issued after the previous lease expired and the Finance Cabinet didn't get a response to a request at the end of last year.

This request includes a requirement to renovate the restrooms and establish a maintenance escrow account.

Parties interested in submitting a proposal for the project should direct all inquiries to Natalie W. Brawner with the Division of Real Properties. As the buyer for this solicitation, she is the only person who will be able to answer questions and provide information. She may be reached via email at natalie.brawner@ky.gov.
