The Woodford County Economic Development Authority (EDA) held a short informational meeting May 26, with some discussion about the progress of the county’s Comprehensive Plan and the importance of figuring out where future economic development in the county will happen.
Executive Director Lucas Witt commended the Versailles-Midway-Woodford County Planning Commission and the Kentucky League of Cities for their work with the four comprehensive plan community listening sessions, noting that land use is a “hot topic.”
“From an economic development perspective . . .  I think it’s important for the EDA to be thinking about what’s to come,” he said. “Midway Station is now wrapped up. . . You’ve got 118 acres in Edgewood and then what’s next?” 
Planning Director Steve Hunter told the group that the data collected from the listening sessions are available at the bottom of the “home” page on the planning commission’s website: woodfordplanning.org. 

Land sale:  Michalisin said the EDA had closed on a pending land sale deal for lots 18 through 20 at Midway Station to Orange Consulting in the net amount of $77,813. Witt noted that this has been a 20-year project.
