Muhlenberg Job Corps heavy equipment students to help construct lake at area park
Students enrolled in the Heavy Equipment training program at
Muhlenberg Job Corps Center will soon be using their training to help construct
a lake for a park in Henderson County. The Henderson County, Ky., Fiscal Court
requested assistance from the Muhlenberg Job Corps heavy equipment training
program to help construct a 7-8 acre lake at Sandy Lee Watkins Park. The lake
will be located in the 535-acre park complex.
Henderson County Engineer Bill Hubiak met with
representatives from Muhlenberg Job Corps to discuss the project and work out
an agreement. Hubiak said, “Having students train in an actual
construction site environment will be valuable to their future development and
employment. Henderson County will also gain from the cooperative agreement
by being able to construct a lake that will have a handicap accessible fishing
pier for the public.”
Hubiak added, “This joint venture between agencies enhances
cooperation between governmental entities and is a plus for the taxpayers of
Henderson County.” Muhlenberg Job Corps students and staff provide many
hours of community service to Muhlenberg County and surrounding communities
each year.
The project will take several months to complete.
