Our Toby Gage has details.
And this look at headlines around Kentucky.
And another sinkhole has opened up in Bowling Green.
The Bowling Green Daily News reports a sinkhole measuring 14 feet deep is in the same neighborhood where another appeared a few months ago.
City crews have been monitoring the area after the first sinkhole caused the roadway to dip six inches.
The Bowling Green Daily News reports crews will dig 25 feet around the sinkhole to excavate and repair it.
The city tells the newspaper the sinkhole poses no risks to nearby homes.
Bowling Green has been the site of some massive sinkholes in recent years.
Last year, a 40 foot sinkhole appeared in front of a Bowling Green Elementary school.
And in 2014, there was a sinkhole collapse at the Corvette Museum that made headlines around the world.
At four, it swallowed up several classic Corvettes.
A Kentucky researcher is studying the potential impact of a fentanyl vaccine.
Researchers at the University of Houston have developed a vaccine that could block fentanyl from entering the brain.
They say it could prevent a relapse for people trying to quit using opioids.
Tom Prison Zaino, a research professor at the University of Kentucky, has been studying the vaccine and tells WVXU that an injection of the vaccine would remove the toxic effect of fentanyl and the high effect people receive from it.
But he says he doesn't believe it will be a game changer, like many are calling it, because drug use is a complex issue and there's nothing preventing a user from moving to a different drug.
Last year, more than 1500 overdose deaths in Kentucky were caused by fentanyl.
Maker's Mark is making an even bigger mark in Kentucky with an 18 and a half million dollar expansion.
The Kentucky Standard reports the Laredo based distillery received clearance from the Kentucky Tourism Development Finance Authority.
And development of the project is scheduled to wrap up in early 2026.
Under the expansion, the distillery will have cocktail and culinary education, fine dining and a bourbon library.
The Kentucky Standard reports the project Positive economic Impact is listed at close to $64 million and will create 21 full time and six part time jobs.
With headlines around Kentucky, I'm told to give.
