One year after a plane hit the side of a motel near Rough River, the motel reopened.

A small, lightweight plane struck The Pine Tree Inn in Falls of Rough in October 2011, killing the pilot of the plane and starting a fire at the residence attached to the motel.

Already owners of The Resort Campgrounds on the Green River, the couple planned to open The Resort Motel in spring 2013.

Kentucky is launching a Tax Amnesty program allowing people or businesses who owe back taxes to the Commonwealth of Kentucky to pay with no fees or penalties.  The threat of prosecution will be waived, and only half the interest owed will be due.
