The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) will hold a public meeting to provide information and receive public comments on an increase to natural gas base rates proposed by Atmos Energy Corp. The meeting is Feb. 22 at 5:30 p.m. CST in the Fiscal Court Room of the Daviess County Court House, 212 St. Ann St., Owensboro.
