LEXINGTON, KY – The Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) presented the City of Louisa with a 2023 Liability Grant in the amount of $3,000 dollars. The funds enable KLC members to provide programs and services that reduce liability and create safer communities. KLC has awarded its insurance members more than $6 million in liability and safety grants since 1999.
“Helping Kentucky cities be as safe as possible is important to the Kentucky League of Cities,” KLC Executive Director/CEO J.D. Chaney said. “Providing these grants is an important part of our partnership with all of our members.”
The city used the funds for badly needed sidewalk repairs.
“ We have many sidewalks in our city that need repaired and replaced due to the age of the concrete’ said Harold Slone, mayor with the City of Louisa. “Safe and accessible sidewalks is a priority for the city and we will continue to work on them as funds allow.” “ I’m extremely proud of our staff that worked to replace these dilapidated sidewalks improving runoff to citizens as well as a much safer place to walk” Slone said.
Liability grants are just one of the many extra services cities and organizations get through KLC Insurance Services, Kentucky’s largest municipal insurance program. The agency helps members increase public safety with proactive programs and services. KLC insurance provides affordable liability, property, workers’ compensation, and other municipal insurance products.
In addition to insurance, the Kentucky League of Cities offers employee benefits programs, legislative advocacy, financial and municipal law services, training, community development, and other resources that serve cities.
