The 2023 Directory has been published and delivered to each household in Greenbrier. One correction is in the green intro letter accompanying the Directory which misstates the GRI website address. As you now know -if you have reached this page -our address is gb-ra.com! Hopefully, no further corrections are needed!
Thank you!
Your GRI Board
Beginning on: Tuesday April 25 2023
Ending on: Thursday April 27 2023
During the hours of: 7 pm – 3:30am
The KY American Water map shows ‘flushing’ in Greenbrier to begin this Tuesday, ending sometime on Thursday. The company notes the following;
Customers in Bourbon, Clark, Fayette, Owen and Scott counties may notice a stronger smell of chlorine in their tap water from mid-April through late May, regardless of where we are currently flushing, since our water treatment process remains adjusted from using chlorine to using free chlorine throughout the entire flushing program. The water remains safe to consume.
Appropriately enough on Earth Day, the Shred-truck made its first appearance in Greenbrier. For two hours, neighbors could come and bring unwanted and/or sensitive papers and get them shredded for free. Co-sponsored with the Brokerage, the Shred-truck is just another service the GRI is pleased to present to the neighborhood!
We hope all our neighbors will mark their calendars and join the GRI Board in attending these helpful events. Thank you!

This important message, recorded on Thursday, Dec. 29th is from the Chief Neighborhood elf and his anonymous crew who judged this year’s Holiday Lights winners. They are:
Best Overall: The Williams Family at 1788 Bahama Road.
Most Whimsical: The Brooks Family at 2242 Bahama Road.
Best Entryway: The Marrs Family at 2049 Bahama Road.
Chief Elf noted that these triumphant neighbors have never won before, even though there were more lighted properties than ever this year. The Holiday Spirit was certainly alive and well in Greenbrier, and the elves wanted a shout out to the following families for their super showing: The Pogrostskys on Eleuthera; the Ottos on Jamaica; and the GRI Decorating Committee for this year’s front entry with its arrangement of snowmen and deer. As always, the elves appreciated the colorful, gorgeous tree in the Wirth/Wardrop sideyard; and the many other festive figures – the angels, penguins and endearing inflatables dotting our neighborhood.
Again, we elves encourage all our neighbors to deck their halls in 2023 to make our neighborhood the cheefulest, joyfulest and brightest community in Fayette County. Till next year, this is the Chief Elf, signing off.
Every December since 2004, your GRI Board has held a holiday light contest for residents. The competition has three winner categories:
BEST OVERALL ; BEST DOOR or ENTRYWAY; BEST WHIMSICAL (ELVES CHOICE).
The judging this year- by an anonymous group who call themselves the Elf Squad – will take place Wednesday evening, December 21st after 11pm. The winners will be announced on our voice mail, on our website, gb-ra.com and our Greenbrier Facebook page. All residents are eligible to win: only GRI members will receive a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant in Hamburg – not to mention an awesome sign designating the home of the prizewinner-placed in the front yard. The elves are very excited about this year’s contest and wish to urge everyone to get busy and light up! Happy Holidays!

On October 20, the Kentucky Department of Highways held a public meeting at Macedonia Christian Church to announce plans to widen US-60 / Winchester Road from Polo Club Boulevard to Haley Road. At the neighborhood GRI Business Meeting on the same evening, Joe Brumley, VP Acquisitions for Cowgill, Inc. presented what’s in store for Hamburg East. Joe explained that Hamburg construction will include two hospitals, one and probably two new schools, as well as mixed-use housing for 3000 new residents. He also informed us of the State’s plan to use Winchester Road to bring Interstate 64 west traffic to Hamburg East by directing vehicles to exit I-64 at Haley Road then travel the new 4-lane road to Polo Club Boulevard.
The Kentucky Department of Highways created a website where residents can see project documents and view an informative video:
Link: www.FayetteUS60.com
There is also a form for you to comment on the widening project. Your GRI Board requests you immediately review the website material then complete and send your comments using their Questionnaire form as resident input will end Friday, November 4.
Your GRI board has compiled the following recommendations:
1. Please visit: www.FayetteUS60.com View the video then on the left side of the screen, click on “Intersection Simulations.” Once finished, click “Take Online Questionnaire” on the screen above the video. At the bottom of the Questionnaire form click “Done” to send.
2. For Questions 5 and 6, check “Safety.”
3. At Bahama Road intersection check “Continuous Green-T Intersection.”
4. The State will not install a traffic light at Bahama Road since our ADT (Average Daily Traffic) does not meet their published requirements. In conversations with the Kentucky Department of Highways, GRI learned that exceptions may be made if residents insist on a traffic light for safety and other appropriate reasons. So, if you want a traffic light at Bahama Road write a compelling argument in the comments section. You may want to mention the fatal crash at Bahama Road on 8-18-22 and the fatal crashes near Bahama Road on 10-28-22 and 8-24-12.
Finally, if we cannot justify, by this Friday, the need for a traffic light at Bahama Road then we should not expect one in the future.
