Adair County has been awarded a Kentucky Association of Counties (KACo) Insurance Grant to support projects that improve safety, reduce accidents, and help protect taxpayer-funded facilities, equipment, and services.
The grant funding was announced today by Adair County and will be used to purchase safety equipment for the Adair County Sheriff’s department and the Adair County Ambulance Service.
“The KACo Insurance Grant will help us take proactive steps to prevent injuries, reduce costly damage, and make our county safer for both employees and the public,” Deputy Judge Executive Compton said. “By addressing risks before something goes wrong, we’re helping our community and protecting taxpayer dollars.”
First Aid Kits and Fire Extinguishers were purchased to equip all Sheriff’s vehicles. The remainder of the grant funding went to the Adair County Ambulance Service to purchase an oxygen tank lift.
KACo Executive Director Jim Henderson said the grant program helps counties invest in practical, preventative solutions that reduce insurance claims and long-term costs.
“These grants support real-world improvements that make county operations safer and more efficient,” Henderson said. “KACo is proud to support counties and our members by providing valuable resources, helping them better serve their communities.”
