Meade County

Stunning views of the Ohio River, idyllic country settings and warm, welcoming neighbors make Meade County, Kentucky, a great place to call home. A community of 30,003, with quick gate access to Fort Knox, Meade County is a favorite place to settle among many military families. Quality, affordable, single-family homes are available to buy and rent. School-aged children attend Meade County Public Schools, which is consistently ranked among the best in the state.

Elizabethtown Community and Technical College has an extended campus at Meade County Area Technical Center, providing even closer access to postsecondary degree and certification programs. Baptist Health Hardin is the regional healthcare provider, offering primary and specialty care as well as lab and diagnostics services right in Brandenburg – the county seat.

In addition to nearby Fort Knox and the school system, Monument Chemical and soon-to-be-built Nucor Steel Mill are among the county’s largest employers. Small businesses offering a variety of professional services also are a vital part of the employer base.

The City of Brandenburg is experiencing a main street revitalization, with new shops and restaurants that lead to the community’s picturesque riverfront park – the site of many concerts and community celebrations. The famed Meade County Fair each summer is considered one of the best in the country.
