McCracken County Fiscal Court

A long-gestating project to bring a tournament-ready sports complex to far western Kentucky has advanced in fits and spurts since it came into being more than five years ago.

A release Thursday announced that McCracken County Judge-Executive Craig Clymer and Paducah Mayor George Bray had preliminarily okayed the interlocal agreement between the two local governments to move forward with a $42 million sports complex, which has been in the works since 2019.

Paducah and McCracken County officials announced Tuesday they had agreed to jointly proceed on a pair of projects — needed upgrades to the area’s 911 radio communications system and the construction of an outdoor sports complex.
