Our next quarterly meeting is called for the evening of June 22nd, 2017
The attached document is from the consulting firm (Brandstetter Carroll) and will again be voted on at the 10 April 2017 Commission Work Session.
Frankfort will be participating in the fourth annual Main Street Clean Sweep, hosted by Bluegrass Greensource and Franklin County Solid Waste. This is a multi-county event aimed at cleaning litter from downtown areas. As members of the Beautification committee, many of you have participated in this event in the past, and may be involved with others who would be interested again this year.
The event will take place on Friday, April 21 from 11:00-1:00. Come spend 30 minutes, an hour, or two during your lunch break to get outside and clean up downtown. The event will kick-off in front of the Judicial Center, 222 St Clair Street, and you will be provided with gloves, trash bags, a free t-shirt, and give you a designated area to clean.
In order to guarantee your t-shirt, please consider preregistering at the link below. Preregistration is NOT required. View the attached flier for more details, and feel free to share with others who may be interested.
Scot Anthony Wayne Walters, 47, passed away on Sunday, April 2, 2017.
As a child growing up in Versailles, Scot loved trains, building, and arranging his things “just so.” This early awareness of his surroundings led him to study and graduate from the School of Architecture at the University of Kentucky. He experienced pivotal moments in his life when he studied abroad in Venice, Italy, for a semester and interned at Cosanti Foundation in Arizona. These experiences inspired his life’s work – good design, new urbanism, and historic preservation. He created and invested in a life in downtown Frankfort with his wife Marnie and daughter Margi because he believed in walkable communities, pedestrian advocacy, and the efficiency of living in the city core. He walked to work at The Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office for twenty years, where he recently retired as a respected site development program manager. Frankfort and the entire state benefitted from his passion, dedication, and the successful implementation of the tax credit program.
When he wasn’t fighting tirelessly for good architectural and urban design, he enjoyed locally crafted beer, bonfires, Formula 1 racing, Shaker Village, Envision Franklin County, local food, and completing his own preservation projects. All were indicative of his love for quality craftsmanship and high standards. No matter where he was, his talent, honesty and fieriness made an impression.
His battle against cancer was fought with the conviction and determination of all of his battles, yet he lost. He leaves behind a family who loved him deeply and will miss him daily – a family proud of who he was – Marnie and Margi; Libbie, his mom; Wayne, his deceased father; Todd (Ann) and Matt (Jennifer), his brothers; Sally, his dog, and the many colleagues and friends he acquired through the years.
A celebration of life will be Thursday April 27 from 3-5 pm followed by a bonfire at Josephine Sculpture Park.
In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy may be made in Scot’s memory to Strong Towns, 1511 Northern Pacific Road, Room 206, Brainerd, MN 56401 or at https://www.guidestar.org/ profile/27-1459378
