Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Subgrant Program

Program Overview

In 2024, the city of Paducah accepted the National Park Service Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization Grant. The goal of the grant program is to foster economic development in rural communities through the rehabilitation of local historic buildings and resources. The intent of this program is to subaward federal funds to projects that have been selected through a locally administered competitive process as to best suit the needs of the community.  

Medical Cannabis

About the Kentucky Medical Cannabis Program

In 2023, the Kentucky General Assembly passed Senate Bill 47 which was signed by Governor Andy Beshear legalizing the use of medical cannabis in Kentucky effective January 1, 2025. The bill also established a framework for state licensure of medical cannabis businesses such as dispensaries, cultivators, processors, and producers. As of January 1, 2025, an individual who meets specific requirements can receive a medical cannabis card from the Cabinet of Health.

Short-Term Rentals

What is a Short-Term Rental?

A short-term rental is a furnished living space available for short periods of time, from a few days to several weeks.  Under Paducah's ordinance, the short-term rental does not include the serving or providing of meals by the host to any guest (to distinguish from Bed & Breakfasts). Short-term rentals also are commonly known as vacation rentals and are considered an alternative to a hotel.
