# Owensboro Board of Commissioners Regular Called Meeting - November 3, 2026

The City of Owensboro Board of Commissioners’ regular called meeting on November 3, 2026 included two approved spending-related actions. The commission approved Municipal Order 35-2026 authorizing an application for a FY2026 Paul Coverdell Forensic Science Improvement Grant of approximately $76,385 for the Police Department to purchase a crime-light alternate light source and fuming chamber; no city match is required. It also approved Municipal Order 36-2026, an incentive agreement with 300’s LLC for residential units in a renovation project at 316 West Third Street, which is expected to add eight downtown units. The incentive amount was not stated.

Commissioners also held first readings, without final votes, on closing a short section of Old Henderson Road connected to a Carter Road turning-lane project and annexing 6.083 acres at 1651 Parish Plaza Drive for a proposed 44-apartment development with an announced investment of $11.6 million. During public comment, a speaker again asked the commission to advance a responsible-bidder ordinance; no action was taken. A commissioner also referenced a separately announced $50 million apartment and retail investment, without further procurement details.
