Shelby gets $10,000
for dead animal removal
The Kentucky Agricultural Development Board, chaired by Gov. Steve Beshear, approved Shelby County Fiscal Court for $10,000 in Shelby County Agricultural Development Funds to provide free dead animal removal services for fiscal year 2009. The goal of this program is to continue to provide dead animal removal service, which has significantly reduced the instances of improper disposal, since its inception, that lead to undesirable water quality.
"We are thankful for the Agricultural Development Board administering these funds, which have benefited numerous communities and are continuing to do so in Shelby County through the removal services," Rep. Brad Montell (R-Shelbyville).
The funds will be used to provide dead animal removal service through a contractor, Dead Animal Removal Service (DARS).
