| Potential Changes to Kentucky Eligible Area Maps for Kentucky USDA Rural Development Housing Programs |
| The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development is conducting a review of all areas under its jurisdiction to identify areas that no longer qualify as rural for housing programs. The last rural area reviews were performed in 2017–2018 using 2015 American Community Survey (ACS) data. Rural area designations are reviewed every five years. This review will use the 2020 United States decennial census data. Based on the 2020 U.S. census data and rural area guidance located in Handbook HB–1–3550, Chapter 5, the rural eligibility designation is under review for the following areas in Kentucky: Currently eligible communities under review: Scott County – Georgetown Boone County – Burlington Kenton County – Independence Campbell County – Alexandria Bourbon County – Paris Woodford County – Versailles Jessamine County – Nicholasville Shelby County – Shelbyville Bullitt County – Mt. Washington Hardin County – Elizabethtown Ineligible communities under review (expansion of ineligible areas):Madison County – Richmond Christian County – Fort Campbell Ineligible communities under review (reconsideration of eligibility):McCracken County – Paducah Boyd County – Ashland The public shall have 90 days from the date of this public notice to submit comments regarding the potential loss of eligibility for Rural Development housing programs. Comments should be sent to RD.SFH.SO.KY@usda.gov. For details, or questions about specific changes, please contact the Kentucky Rural Development Housing Program staff at 859-224-7353. |
