Barren County is one of 18 counties in Kentucky that has been approved for public assistance due to costs accrued during a January winter storm.

Gov. Andy Beshear announced Sunday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency approved public assistance for counties affected by the winter storm, according to a press release. “The severe weather event caused significant ice accumulation across the state, up to 9 inches of snow in some areas and dangerously cold temperatures.”

Other counties in South central Kentucky that have been designated for the assistance are Allen, Clinton, Cumberland, Metcalfe, and Monroe.
