HORSE CAVE — A bid for improvements to Bluegrass Avenue was awarded Monday by the Hart County Industrial Authority.

The $293,555 bid went to Glass Construction of Glasgow.

“We got only one bid,” said Randall Curry, vice chairman of the industrial authority.

Improvements will be made to 0.35 mile of the street from U.S. 31W to the CSX Railroad line near Ky. 335 in the Progress Park Industrial Park just north of the Hart and Barren county line.

The industrial authority will be reimbursed up to $293,100 from the state for the project, which involves the widening of the street to provide two-way truck traffic and the construction of curbs, Curry said.

The industrial authority signed a memorandum of agreement with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in early May to receive the money to fund the project.

Work to improve the road is expected to begin within the next few days, Curry said.

At one time Horse Cave Mayor Odell Martin discussed with the city council about applying for funding through the United States Department of Agriculture. The council also discussed using money from the city’s payroll tax fund to make the street repairs and adopted on first reading an ordinance to proceed with the project in that manner, but never approved the ordinance on second reading.

Martin declined Monday to comment on the project.
