Thompson: The most critical thing was to not incorporate these one-time funds as part of general revenue to pay for recurring expenses. Instead, we have used ARPA funds to pay for capital projects including the new firehouse for Crescent Springs/Villa Hills and a planned sewer main expansion project along Route 8 in Bromley and Villa Hills.

Thompson: For Villa Hills, whose last large piece of vacant land is currently being built out, other new housing starts are not on the table. However, as long as we maintain good fiscal management and ensure upkeep of the city infrastructure, we can bring value to every homeowner and renter within the city.

Seth Thompson: I’m running to continue the work I’ve done for the past two terms. As chairman of the Public Works Committee, it’s my job to oversee the road and infrastructure projects throughout the city. In particular, I will be focused on the expansion and reconstruction of the Collins/Amsterdam intersection for which my committee secured an SNK grant from the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments that will pay for 80% of the project.

Thompson: This has been a top concern for me during my time on council. The Collins/Amsterdam project includes the completion of the missing sidewalk on the east side of Collins, which I pushed hard to get included in the project. In addition, we will be adding sidewalk from Colina Dr. to the intersection of Highwater/Amsterdam as part of the larger Kenton County project for Short Amsterdam.

The request is for $4.265 million, which includes utilities, pavement, and drainage.

“That is the total cost of the project,” he said. “The project scores really well according to the criteria (to receive the grant). We’re increasing access, easing the traffic, putting in sidewalks for safety.”
Thompson added that Villa Hills could receive partial funding but won’t know until October.

Thompson: As chair of the Public Works Committee, roads and sidewalks are my main focus. We have a five-year plan to replace and maintain city streets, as well as major projects like the expansion of the Collins/Amsterdam intersection. Should I be reelected, I plan to continue this work.
