Mayor Henry Royse reviews Glasgow’s turnaround in 2025, highlighting major job announcements from Tate Industries, Union Coating and Chemicals, and Southcentral Kentucky Community & Technical College, and notes the town’s recovery from past controversies.

He previews 2026 projects including the new judicial center, a farmers market, Highway 1297 widening, and the Joyce Driver Aquatic Park.

Henry speaks with Stacy Janes, program coordinator for the Community Relief Fund of Glasgow and Barren County, about how the federal SNAP shutdown is increasing demand for local food pantries and hurting families who rely on benefits.

The episode explains how people can access help — SNAP applications through the Department of Child-Based Services, or immediate food assistance from Community Relief at 317 Columbia Avenue — and highlights the pantry’s hours, ID requirements, and phone line for support.

Stacy describes rising need, recent distribution numbers, and urges monetary and food donations so the community can continue to feed vulnerable families during this disruption.

Mayor Henry Royse sits down with Matt Mutter of the Barren County Veterans Association to discuss the third annual veterans banner program in Glasgow, honoring 25 local service members with flags around the square. The episode highlights the community effort—led by Matt, April Russell, and city staff—to recognize veterans and preserve local memories.

Listeners are invited to visit the square to view the banners, learn about the veterans, and contact Matt for information or future applications at mmutter@Glasgow-KY.com.
