Housing & Urban Development

Why are you running for this office and what would be your top priority if elected?

Cathy Stover: One of the reasons I ran for office in 2018 was to assist with providing input into the development of a plan for dealing with improvements in the intersection of Amsterdam and Collins. I feel that the present council has worked diligently to come up with a plan that will help to ease some of the congestion there. I want to follow through with that objective and continue to represent the people of Villa Hills.

With heightened concern around the region related to pedestrian and cyclist safety, what do you think should be done to improve this area in your city?

Stover: The council took this into consideration when we approved the renovation plan for the intersection of Amsterdam and Collins. This is a location that has high pedestrian and cyclist traffic. This project will include safe passage for all. The plan for the reconstruction of Short Amsterdam includes a sidewalk which will facilitate safe travel around the entire perimeter of Villa Hills.

Supports completing Amsterdam and Collins intersection improvements to reduce congestion and make travel safer for pedestrians and cyclists.

Cities have benefited from federal funds to recover from the pandemic, but that one-time cash infusion is unlikely to happen again. What steps should be taken to ensure that the city remain on strong financial footing?

Stover: When we became aware of the availability of ARPA funds, the council and city administration planned wisely for the use of funds without using them for operating expenses. This year the council did see the need to raise property taxes and some other taxes in anticipation of meeting necessary expenses. In addition, the build-out of Sanctuary will provide additional TIF money to assist with expenditures.
