Extension District budget and $3.2M surplus

Oldham County

Summary

The Extension District showed a $3.2 million surplus after eight years of taking the compensating rate, and Magistrate Theiss pushed for a rate cut instead of hoarding cash. The district explained the money is earmarked for a multi-million-dollar building on its 67-acre Highway 22 property, including an early freestanding meeting facility with water and electricity.
