INEZ — The Martin County Fiscal Court announced Tuesday it will host a community groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of long-awaited improvements to the Inez Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Martin County received $685,000 in Kentucky Cleaner Water Program funds recently, allowing the county to begin upgrades to the wastewater system.

Judge/Executive Lon Lafferty said the improvements will support public health, future growth and community revitalization.

“These improvements have been a priority for our community, and we are grateful for the support that is helping us move this project forward,” Lafferty said. “This investment represents another important step toward building a stronger, healthier Martin County.”

Lafferty invites all Martin County residents to attend the groundbreaking ceremony at 1 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, at the entrance to the wastewater treatment plant.
