Last night the Russell Springs City Council approved a new zoning ordinance that will limit Alcohol and Drug Treatment Entities.

The Ordinance will establish a Hospital/Medical Zone, which would be the required area for alcohol and drug treatment entities to be located. The ordinance would limit the number of such entities to 2 in the city limits at one time. It would also limit the entities be located a minimum of 1,000 feet from any churches, daycares, schools, public parks and play grounds.

Last night local businessman Terry Stephens was presented a prestigious Anchor Award this evening. The award was presented to Stephens for his contributions to both the city and the community, and for allowing Russell County to have a special connection to the Kentucky Derby through Stephens' horse, "Chunk of Gold."

And last evening at the council meeting the city held a presentation of the City of Russell Springs Achievement Scholarship Winner – Emmy Pratt and the H.M. Bottom Memorial Scholarship Winner - Addacin Hill
