OpenCounter Demonstration
City Clerk/Customer Experience Department Director Lindsay Parish debuted a new online tool
customized to Paducah that will help entrepreneurs, developers, business owners, and others as
they work to scope a project. The official launch of the OpenCounter software is next Monday
with final edits to the program being made this week. OpenCounter is centered around business
development and project scoping. The goals are to increase efficiencies in the permitting process
by improving communications between the project organizer and the City. Paducah will be using
the OpenCounter zoning and business portals which will guide users through questions to help
determine the appropriately zoned locations for types of business and the required permits with
estimated fees. At the end, users can download a summary of their project, contact City staff,
and/or create a project account to start the application process.
GPEDC Update
Greater Paducah Economic Development (GPED) President/CEO Bruce Wilcox updated the Paducah
Board of Commissioners on the recent efforts of GPED. Wilcox was hired as President/CEO last
September.
Indoor Recreation & Aauatic Center Desien Update
President/CEO Chris Camp and Associate Vice President -Architecture Sean Guth presented an
update to the Paducah Board of Commissioners regarding the design of the Indoor Recreation and
Aquatic Center, a wellness facility to be constructed in Noble Park. Noble Park was selected due to
its centralized location and walkability for people from several surrounding neighborhoods. This
two-story facility will be approximately 77,000 square feet and located along Park Avenue in the
current location of the ball fields.
This community wellness facility will include numerous amenities. The first floor incorporates the
office and reception area, a climbing wall, concession/cafe area with an open seating area for
socializing, locker rooms, a child care area, gymnasium, multi-purpose room, wet/dry classroom,
warm water therapy pool with a zero -entry end and kid's play area, a two-story flume slide, 25
meter by 25 -yard tournament -level lap pool, and space for a tenant. The second floor includes an
open area with fitness equipment, fitness rooms, space for offices or a tenant, and a large running
track that overlooks the first floor. Six laps on the track will equal a mile.
Camp explained that wellness facilities have changed during his more than 35 years as a
professional. He stressed that wellness facilities are now dynamic centers that meet a variety of
health, fitness, educational, and social needs. Plus, they are economic drivers for a
January 28, 2020
community. Camp showed the cover of the January 2020 issue of the magazine, Parks and
Recreation. The issue includes an article about how recreation centers are becoming community
wellness hubs. The programming options that can be found in a wellness center include after
school programs, health and nutrition classes, counseling sessions, senior wellness activities, and
swimming lessons.
Lose Design along with local partner Bacon Farmer Workman Engineering and Testing (BFW) will
continue the work on the design and prepare the construction documents for bidding. Furthermore,
the Lose team has met with local general contractors who are interested in the project.
In addition to the design process, the City currently is requesting proposals from a qualified
recreation center management group for the operation and management of the facility. The
deadline to submit a proposal is February 28.
The City of Paducah contracted with Nashville, TN -based Lose Design in August 2019 for the
design and construction management services for this facility. The development of an indoor
recreation and aquatic facility is tied to Our Community and the Performance Area, Recreation, as
outlined in Paducah's Strategic Plan. It's also one of the What's Important Now (WIN) initiatives.
