With school out for the summer and the warm weather pushing
everyone outside, LMPD tends to receive an increase in calls related to ATV
activity. Many people are not aware that it is not legal to operate
all-terrain vehicles on any public highway, roadway or right-of-way of any
public highway or roadway. LMPD reminds constituents that it is against
the law to use ATV's on a public roadway in Kentucky (KRS 189.515).

association is to support farmers markets, farmers and local food producers to

providing assistance such as marketing, financial advice, vendor and volunteer
recruitment to increase the capacity of farmers markets. It also helps to
facilitate better access to healthy fruits and vegetables for everyone by
helping the markets support SNAP (food stamps) participants through the Double Dollars Program and Free EBT Equipment and seniors
through the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program.
