Valley View trustees urge phase out of county home in three years
Valley View Care Home trustees unanimously recommend ending county-owned long-term care operations at the Ridge Court facility within three years. If approved, the plan could repurpose the building for short-term care or adult day services while exploring a new county facility. The design flaws and costly necessary upgrades influenced the decision.

Clemency delays demolition of historic Lawrence house
Lawrence city commissioners halted the planned demolition of a vacant one story home at 1425 Kentucky Street after neighbors offered a feasible alternative. Douglas Compton seeks to buy Endacott to demolish and replace with multifamily housing but state officials warned the project could harm nearby historic properties Priestly House and John Palmer Usher House. Neighbors Nancy Shantz and Sondra McCoy proposed purchase and renovation, urging the city to withhold the permit unless a prudent alternative is pursued.
