Larry Solomon MAYOR Union Commission Recognizes Former Kroger Manager The City Commission of the City of Union joined Kentucky State Senator John Schickel (Union) in recognizing former Union Kroger Manager Jerry Lux at the October 2, 2017, meeting. Mr. Lux, who managed the Union Kroger for more than 20 years, recently retired from the company. Schickel presented Mr. Lux a certificate, issued by Governor Matt Bevin, recognizing him as a Kentucky Colonel for his service to the state of Kentucky. The Commission also heard an update on the recent Zachary Salmon 5K Charity Run, which benefits the Union Adopt-A-Unit program. Mayor Larry Solomon also presented an update on construction and road closures related to the Mt. Zion/KY 536 Road Project. Several members of the community came forward with a request to consider the addition of 250 feet of new sidewalk along Old Union Road near the Villas of Fowler’s Creek subdivision. The Commission is taking the matter under advisement. The Commission also reviewed the response from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in regards to a request by the commission for a reduction of the speed limit on US42 between Braxton Road to north of Frogtown Road from 55 to 45. The KYTC denied the request for a speed reduction, and the commission will ask for a yearly study of the speed issue. In additional business, a bid was approved for some additional road work along Old Union Road to repair some potholes and other road safety issues. The Commission approved the official Trick-or-Treat hours for Halloween in the City of Union to be October 31 from 6 to 8 p.m. More information regarding the City of Union can be found on the city's website www.cityofunionky.org or by contacting Communications and Operations Director Melissa Hinkle at [email protected] or 859-384-1511. 1843 Mt.
