These past few weeks have flown by and have been extremely busy! This week has been really busy in City Hall with budget meetings and the recent flooding. It’s been amazing to see a community come together so quickly to help out the residents who have been flooded out of their homes. Luckily the cleanup effort is well underway and people have been able to return to their homes or have shelter somewhere in the community. There’s still some work to be done, but it’s coming along!
This week, we had the chance to tour Dr. Hutching’s house in Madison, which was at one point the only hospital between Louisville and Cincinnati. Needless to say, he was very well known in the area! It was the first hospital in town and was extremely small - only 2 rooms on each floor. After he passed away, the house was locked for almost 70 years before someone went back inside, so everything in the house is original and was used by the Doctor - it’s amazing! Recently I’ve also been working on a rehabilitation project for a local resident, and got to go inside her home and assess what work will need to be done.
