The City of Taylor Mill is excited to announce that the Kenton County School District began renovations to Scott High School recently in an effort to expand, modernize, and make the school more functional to the many students enrolled now and who will be enrolled within the future.  We appreciate their interest in continuing to make Scott a great place to education our future generations.
  
As school renovations begin and KY 16 Reconstruction continues please expect traffic delays at various times along Old Taylor Mill Road, portions of existing Taylor Mill Road, and various side streets.  We also ask that you exercise caution while traveling throughout the community and be on the look out for lane changes, detours, dips in the roadways, etc as construction continues to take place over the next 18 to 24 months.  I know many of you are anxious to see the completion of the new KY 16 (Pride Parkway) as the various phases of the project near completion we will keep you posted.  Right now, we anticipate Phase 1 of the new roadway, aka 1-275 to Blackstone Court, will be nearing completion by mid July 2013.  Right now the entire project should be completed by early Spring 2015.  Hang in there!
  
Anyone who is looking to relocate to Taylor Mill can look at new construction opportunities in the Sunrise Meadows Subdivision on Morning Glory Court.  Brookstone Builders of Cincinnati has acquired several lots and are in the process of building a new model home.  The homes will start in the range of $180,000.00.  It's a great time to relocate to Taylor Mill!

Sincerely,
Daniel L. Bell, Mayor

Police Department News
Taylor Mill Police Department Awarded Grant
The Taylor Mill Police Department through the efforts of Officer Mills has successfully authored another traffic enforcement grant.  As a result of his work the TMPD will be awarded $10,500 to be utilized for traffic patrols.  Specifically, this grant will place more Officers out on the street thereby notching up TMPD visibility, allowing us to increase seat belt enforcement, and the identification of aggressive/impaired driving.  This grant will also provide our staff the ability to provide extra street patrols at no extra expense to tax payers.  These grants are a true win-win for Taylor Mill residents and business owners.  We would like to thank Officer Mills for his work and a job well done!
