Corbin Mayor Suzie Razmus was the guest speaker at the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce membership luncheon Tuesday.
Razmus updated chamber members on local business developments and progress of projects throughout Corbin, such as the annexation of Exit 29.
Regarding the annexation, Razmus stated, “I know that it has been very tumultuous right now, there is a lot of hard feelings that are going on.”
On Friday, Senate Bill 274, which was introduced by Senate President Robert Stivers, passed 20 to 12.
“It [SB 274] finally gives Corbin the opportunity to do something with this exit that has been stagnate for decades,” said Razmus.
To stop London’s attempt to annex a portion of Exit 29, Corbin filed a lawsuit against the city.

FRANKFORT, Ky. - After three days of being passed over, Senate Bill 274 (SB 274), which would allow the City of Corbin to annex into southern Laurel County passed the Kentucky Senate Friday by a vote of 20-12, with two senators passing and not voting. Â
Before a vote on the bill could be made, Senator Brandon Storm (R-London) motioned pursuant to Senate Rule 15, that the matter be laid on the clerkâs desk, or temporarily postponed. Storm cited the ongoing litigation between the cities of London and Corbin in Laurel County Circuit Court as a reason to postpone the matter.Â
