The corrected table lists the City of Bloomfield and the Unincorporated Areas of Nelson County as the affected communities; comments are due April 16, 2025.

The Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the listed communities are available for inspection online and at the Community Map Repository: Nelson County Joint City-County Planning Commission, 129 Parkway Drive, Bardstown, KY 40004.
