FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Six Kentucky sites have been approved by a state review board for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.

The nominations by the Kentucky Historic Preservation Review Board will be sent to the National Park Service for a final decision on eligibility.

The state review board says a decision on the designation is expected in 60 to 90 days.

The Kentucky sites are Marianne Theater in Bellevue, Charles Young Park and Community Center in Lexington, Lynn Acres Apartments and the Louisville Gas & Electric Co.
