The July 21 meeting was previously announced. County officials had said additional meetings would be held in August but were awaiting confirmation of school availability before finalizing the schedule.

The town hall series follows recent public discussion about planning, zoning and future development in Barren County, though county officials have said residents are welcome to raise any topic during the meetings.

“Everyone is welcome, and all viewpoints will be heard,” officials said in announcing the meetings.

Residents are asked to sign in upon arrival and will have up to two minutes each to speak.
