Gov. Steve Beshear will be in Marion Tuesday in the midst of wrapping up his "Beshear About Kentucky" tour.Beshear will be in town for about an hour for two ceremonial check presentations before heading to Murray for his second-to-last town hall meeting on his 18-city tour of the state.
The governor is slated to arrive at the Marion Ed-Tech Center on Industrial Drive at 3:15 p.m.
The first of the check presentations will be $500,000 for construction of a new health department on land adjoining the Ed-Tech Center. The second will be for a joint city-county venture to improve pedestrian walk-ways for students who walk to school.
This will be Beshear's first visit to Marion since taking office last December.
