On Monday, Feb. 23, city officials, council members, and local leaders gathered for an exclusive VIP event to mark the soft opening of the historical horse racing facility at Marshall Yards.
Mayor Gene Colburn had the honor of placing the first bet, officially pulling the first historical horse racing machine lever and ushering in a new era of entertainment and economic development for the region.
The facility is operated by Churchill Downs Incorporated, a company with deep roots in Kentucky history. Known worldwide for hosting the Kentucky Derby since 1875, Churchill Downs has long been a cornerstone of the commonwealth’s equine heritage.
Marshall Yards represents a significant investment in Calvert City, bringing more than 100 new jobs to the community. The development has transformed what was once a dark and underutilized area along Interstate 24 into a vibrant and welcoming gateway for residents and visitors.
“This project represents more than a new entertainment venue. It represents momentum,” Mayor Colburn said. “We are seeing real community growth, new jobs for our citizens, and thoughtful development that enhances the entrance to our city. Marshall Yards is proof that Calvert City is moving forward, and we believe this is just the beginning of even more opportunities along the Interstate 24 corridor.”
The official grand opening of Marshall Yards is set for Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 10:30 a.m. The public is invited to attend and help celebrate this exciting new chapter for Calvert City.

Snow! Snow! Snow for days!
Thank you, Calvert City ❤️
We are grateful to our residents for their patience and cooperation as our community worked through a challenging week of winter weather. Staying off the roads and keeping vehicles out of the streets made a meaningful difference and allowed crews to work safely and effectively.🚧🚛💪
A special thank you to our Public Works Department for their dedication and long hours. Since last Friday, a five man crew treated more than 18 square miles of city streets, continuing their work even as layers of snow followed by ice created hard packed conditions that were difficult to remove. Despite those challenges, the team never stopped working to improve road conditions. Job well done.❄️
We also want to recognize our garbage collection crew for not missing a single day this week, and our police, fire and EMS personnel for continuing to keep our community safe throughout the storm.🗑️
Calvert City is strong because of the people who serve it and the neighbors who look out for one another. Thank you all.💙

The Calvert City Calendar box is getting slim!
📆Why should you pick up a city calendar?📆
Sure, it helps you keep track of the days, months, and year. But that is just the beginning!
Each calendar features beautiful photographs submitted by your neighbors, showcasing our community through local eyes.
Even better...
The calendar includes a full year of planned city events, reminders for City Council meetings, water cutoff dates, household bulk pickup, loose leaf vacuum schedules, city closure dates, and when the garbage truck is running (and when it isn’t)!
One simple calendar keeps everything you need in one place. Pick one up and stay connected all year long at City Hall, Food Giant, Calvert City Shop-O-Rama, Basket Case Florist and Gifts, or Tan Lines until they run out! #citycalendar #cityphotocontest
