The Independent Stave Company Mill is completed in Morehead, KY. Independent Stave Company manufactures white oak bourbon staves and is currently the largest barrel manufacturer in the world. MSE is responsible for the architectural and engineering design of a manufacturing building, boiler building, kiln building, log storage, product storage and a water supply system for spray irrigation.
The 4 Star Industrial Park located in Henderson, KY is the first to be certified under KY’s new Build-Ready program by the KY Cabinet for Economic Development. With a Build-Ready site, much of the work – other than actual construction – has already been completed. That includes having community control of the land to be developed, preparing a building pad (prepared ground/soil/environmental studies), conducting preliminary design work, including project costs and construction timeframes, obtaining approved site plan permits and having necessary utility and transportation infrastructure in place. Communities that meet the minimum standards for each requirement of the Build-Ready program will drastically reduce the time it takes a company to select a site, construct a new building and begin operations. By expediting this timeline and putting companies in operation faster, communities will make their sites more attractive to companies and site selectors. MSE is responsible for the master planning, building pad site design, utility design and road design for this regional industrial park.
MSE’s design of the new 4000 SF Bourbon County Senior Center is nearing completion. This project was funded in part by a KY Community Development Block Grant.
The proposed project, designed by MSE, will replace the existing 8” cast iron water main on Danville Avenue and re-connect all water services and side street water main branch lines to increase conveyance and eliminate the turbercolated main. The project will also construct a parallel main west of Danville Avenue connecting subdivision dead end mains, improving pressures, conveyance and water quality. Construction bids will be opened January 15, 2015.
MSE was responsible for the design of a 36,000 SF warehouse/operations building plus 12,000 SF of auxiliary buildings located in the Nelson County Industrial Park. The building is equipped with state of the art technology and communications and allows for emergency operations for the rural electric utility. 
The City of Stanton proposes to construct a new 3,700 SF city hall/police department to replace their existing facilities which are no longer adequate. MSE was retained for the architectural and civil engineering design.
