The Kentucky League of Cities, a regional nonprofit and insurance provider that advocates for the financial interest of cities in the commonwealth, has awarded the city of Fort Mitchell in Kenton County one of its Work Compensation Safety Grants, according to a recent press release.
The grant is issued to member cities to help improve their safety infrastructure and reduce their insurance liability. The league has awarded more than “$6.3 million in liability and safety grants since 1999,” according to the release.
The Kentucky League of Cities awarded $2,886 to Fort Mitchell this year.
“These funds were a tremendous benefit to our city. We purchased work zone safety equipment to provide a safer environment for our employees and our citizens, as well as some additional equipment and safety training for city workers,” Fort Mitchell Mayor and Kentucky League of Cities Executive Board member Jude Hehman said in the release. “We appreciate KLC providing these grants to their members and serving as a partner to making our community safer for everyone.”
