City of Glasgow awarded $100K to improve stormwater infrastructure on Trojan Trail

GLASGOW, Ky. – The City of Glasgow has received $100,000 toward infrastructure improvements on Trojan Trail.

According to a release by the city, the funding is being supplied through Gov. Andy Beshear’s initiative to enhance stormwater infrastructure and improve environmental conditions.

The city says the funds are provided by the Infrastructure Investment and Job Act’s Sewer Overflow and Stormwater Reuse Municipal Grant Program.

“We are thrilled to receive this critical funding to address the stormwater challenges along Trojan Trail,” said Henry Royse, Glasgow mayor. “Flooding has been a significant issue in this area, and this grant allows us to implement sustainable, long-term solutions that will not only reduce flooding but also improve water quality and protect our community’s health and environment.”

With this funding, the city says it can develop engineering plans focused on reducing flooding using nature-based solutions to tackle the issue.

April Russell, city administrator, says, “The flooding along Trojan Trail has been a persistent problem for Barren County Schools, residents and businesses in the area. This grant gives us the resources to plan and design a system that not only addresses the immediate issues but also provides lasting environmental benefits. We’re looking forward to seeing how these improvements will help make Glasgow more resilient.”

The city says the engineering and design phase of the project are expected to be complete by September of 2026.
