The Blue Heron Depot and concession stand, located in Stearns, Kentucky, will receive a new roof covering, skylights, and guttering. Replacement of the current 30-year-old roofing material will occur Wednesday, October 9, 2019, through February 7, 2020. During that time, no closures are anticipated due to the project.

During construction only small sections of roofing will be replaced at a time, maintaining visitor access to Blue Heron facilities. While sections of the depot will be closed for visitor safety, the remaining sections of the building will remain accessible. Other structures, hiking trails, parking areas and river access points will not be impacted for the duration of the project.
