JENKINS, Ky. — The City of Jenkins is inviting residents to take part in shaping its upcoming stormwater and flood-mitigation plan.

City officials will hold a community meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Jenkins City Hall. The event will include a short presentation at 6:15, followed by open-house stations where residents can view maps, learn about proposed drainage improvements, and share feedback directly with engineers and city staff.
The $5.2 million project aims to reduce flooding risks, improve storm drainage, and protect city infrastructure during severe weather. It builds on Jenkins’ ongoing efforts to monitor stream levels and strengthen resilience after repeated flooding in recent years.

Residents are encouraged to attend, share information about flooding trouble spots, and suggest areas needing maintenance or upgrades.

Those unable to attend can submit written comments by email to cityofjenkins@gmail.com by Oct. 31, or watch a recording later on the city’s website at cityofjenkins.org.
