The Trigg County Fiscal Court has learned of concerns about a facility that offers comprehensive mental health treatment and is planning a move to the local community.
Much of the discussion during Tuesday’s court meeting focused on the Kentucky Wellness Center, which is anticipating a move into the former Premier Hunting Lodge, located at 2087 Kings Chapel Road.
Trigg County Treasurer Lucy Kyler said she doesn’t know what the group will do moving forward in terms of its move.
“They haven’t done their due diligence,” Kyler said, noting that there are several things that are questionable about the company that recently purchased the old hunting lodge on the Kings Chapel Road.
Kyler said the facility is not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, and one resident voiced concerns about there being no fencing or signs on the property.
Accreditation is also an issue, with the agency the company cites being accredited by not listing the wellness center on its website, Kyler said.
She also notes that patients being served by the center are “at will” and may leave the facility at any time.
Kyler notes that the Silverado group that bought the facility is from California, with another affiliated company from Wyoming.
The wellness center has a website at kywellnesscenter.com that identifies the facility as offering comprehensive mental health treatment in Kentucky.
“Obviously, there’s some concerned citizens in the area, and the fiscal court is concerned,” the treasurer observed.
Kyler also noted that Trigg County Judge-Executive Stan Humphries expressed concerns about cuts for county road aid funds in the community.
The funds are $250,000 less than what the county anticipated getting, Kyler said, which can impact improvements to roads.
She said the judge is meeting with officials to see what can be done.
In other business:
*The court approved a $55,867 911 services board grant that will be used for improvements to the computer hardware at the local 911 dispatch office. The county is responsible for 10% or around $5,500 of that amount.
*Magistrates approved a $1,052,129 budget from the sheriff’s 2026 sheriff’s budget that will be included in the county’s 2026-2027 budget.
*The court approved a measure to dissolve the Pennyrile Westpark Development Authority, which was formed several years ago to form a larger industrial park in the area. The authority has not accomplished much toward that goal, Kyler said, and local funds provided by the county to support that effort have been refunded.
