A cherished ginkgo tree will not be harmed as a result of a planned expansion of a Kenton County elementary school.
The Kenton County School District appears to have listened to the public's concerns and has decided not to remove the ginkgo tree – thought to be 150 years old, school district officials said in a tweet Saturday morning.
"The KCSD has taken necessary steps to ensure the (Ginkgo) tree is protected & will not be removed as part of construction," the tweet read. "The goal is to provide world-class facilities for our kids & we will continue to work to find alternative solutions at Hinsdale going forward."
