News briefs for March 22

Clarification

Jennifer Kirchner, director of Boyle County Convention and Visitors Bureau, asked the newspaper to clarify part of a story in Thursday’s edition about the Danville-Boyle Economic Development Partnership moving to Constitution Square Park. 

Kirchner said it is inaccurate that the EDP¿will cover the CVB’s monthly rent. Kirchner said, “It is in agreement that the Fiscal Court will not charge the CVB rent. ... The EDP does not transfer money to the CVB or pay it for the CVB. I negotiated a rent abatement with the Fiscal Court. It is for in-kind services only.”

 

Easter Week services

Easter week services for Our Savior Lutheran Church will begin with a Palm Sunday service at 9:30 a.m. Sunday.  The message will be “The Passion according to St. Luke.”
