The Daviess County Fiscal Court is pleased to announce the installation of public Wi-Fi hotspots at seven volunteer fire stations.

“These hotspots will enable students to access the Internet, so they can download assignments or other educational resources in support of virtual learning,” explained Daviess County Judge-Executive Al Mattingly. “We also believe the hotspots will be advantageous for adults who need to work remotely during the pandemic.”

The Wi-Fi hotspots will be available around-the-clock with the username and password posted on signs at each location. Families are asked to follow health and safety guidelines, such as social distancing, while on site. Also, please give priority access to first responders in the event of an emergency call.

“I have to give the credit to our Director of Legislative Services, David Smith and Emergency Management Director Andy Ball,” Mattingly said. “David came to me with the idea and Andy ran with it.”

“We also could not have done this project without the support of the Daviess County Volunteer Fire Departments,” he added. “These groups are always looking to serve the community and this is another example of that.”

Below is a list of locations for the public Wi-Fi hotspots:

• St. Joseph Volunteer Fire Department, 11011 St. Joseph Lane, Owensboro, KY

• Masonville Volunteer Fire Department Station 2, 10344 Highway 231, Utica, KY

• Knottsville Volunteer Fire Department, 9436 KY 144, Philpot, KY

• Yelvington Volunteer Fire Department, 1124 Yelvington Knottsville Rd, Maceo, KY

• Moseleyville Volunteer Fire Department, 3741 Ashbyburg Road, Owensboro, KY

• Stanley Volunteer Fire Department, 159 Highway 1554, Owensboro, KY

If you have questions or need assistance connecting to the Wi-Fi network, contact the Daviess County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) during regular business hours at 270-685-8448.

First, we would like to thank each of you for spreading the word about Kenergy’s Wi-Fi portal locations at all of our offices. We hope these were able to provide students in our area schools with some help connecting and completing work this past school year.

Since most schools are out for summer and the fall plans will be for students to be back in the classroom, Kenergy will be deactivating the portals at our offices. If the need presents itself in the future, we will keep the technology and equipment to set these back up.

Again, thank you for your help in spreading the word and we hope you have a wonderful summer!

Thank you, Leslie Barr, Kenergy Communications and Public Relations Specialist
