Bowling Green building stock

Western Kentucky University employs 3,274 people and Commonwealth Health Corporation 2,842, the two largest employers in the city, ahead of the General Motors assembly plant at 1,100.
The downtown commercial core holds 113 contributing historic structures across 24 acres, a dense block of masonry and storefront facades rather than towers.

A tethered drone reaches up to 200 ft, about 18 stories, from one staging position; taller towers are worked from podiums, setbacks or the roof. Height is a planning question at the survey, not a limit.
Climate, soiling and season in Bowling Green
Bowling Green has a humid subtropical climate with 47.51 inches of precipitation and about 8.4 inches of snow a year, so humidity and rain keep organic growth on shaded masonry, canopies and low-slope roofs.
Water-based washing pauses in freezing weather; the freeze dates shown are averages and the survey confirms the window for your building. Recurring clients are booked at the start of the window.
Flying and washing in Bowling Green
These are the rules that shape a job here; we plan around them at the survey, not on site.
Controlled airspace here needs FAA authorization before launch; LAANC grants it in advance and it is filed as part of scheduling.
An FAA rule effective May 2020 set a Class E surface area within a 4.2-mile radius of Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport, with Class E airspace from 700 feet above the surface within a 6.7-mile radius.
Bowling Green ordinance 21-2.04 makes illicit discharge illegal and defines it as any discharge to the storm sewer system not composed entirely of stormwater, listing car wash wastewater among prohibited sources while exempting individual residential car washing.
Bowling Green requires a written right-of-way work permit from Public Works before any cut in a street, alley or sidewalk or any work needing lane closures or detours, applied for at least 24 hours ahead except in emergencies.
Flights stage from the client's own property with the owner's written consent; public parks and rights of way are not used as launch sites without a permit.
Rinse water is contained and recovered wherever the local storm-drain rule requires it, and the containment method is written into the proposal.
Any sidewalk or lane closure is permitted with the city before the job and its lead time is part of the schedule.
State-level drone law, licensing and the statewide season are on the Kentucky page. See also where drones need permits.
