Governor Beshear was in eastern Kentucky Thursday for another announcement about new higher-ground housing for the flood-stricken region. 115 homes will be built in Letcher County and another 12 in Floyd County – and they’ll be built on about 100 acres donated by Gregory Johnson and his brothers Garnie and George. Gregory Johnson:
“We've had the property for about 15 years. We acquired the property from Tico, which is Tampa Power and Electric. They were mining in this area, they bought a property from Bethlehem Steel, the 1000s of acres of both mineral land, and we acquired the property from them.”
