Governor highlights new build-ready location in Adair Co. From Crystal Staley/Brandon Mattingly Frankfort, KY - On Monday, March 18, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear highlighted continued momentum of the commonwealth's site development efforts with the announcement of a new Build-Ready location in Adair County, positioning the community for future investment and job creation. The site at the Green River Commerce Park, at 238 Development Drive in Columbia, adds to the state's growing list of properties certified by the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development as Build-Ready. These sites are available statewide for companies looking to locate in the commonwealth and start construction and operations quickly. Adair County Judge/Executive Larry Russell Bryant spoke about the benefits for a company to locate in the area: "Adair County has been relatively stagnant when it comes to manufacturing jobs since the 1980s, so this certified Build-Ready pad, I believe, will be a key component to letting companies know that Adair County is 'open for business.' We have a very strategic location, located on the Heartland Parkway, and only minutes from the Cumberland Parkway, landing you on I-65 or I-75 within an hour. I am so thankful for Gov. Andy Beshear and Secretary Jeff Noel for providing programs and opportunities for communities like Adair County to complete projects like this pad at 50% cost to our community. That makes a huge difference for us. This certified Build-Ready pad gets us so much closer to our dream of good-paying, manufacturing jobs right here at home becoming reality!" Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots showed support for the project: "We are excited about the prospects that the Build-Ready status gives to our community."

Kentucky Color: Uprooted trees By Billy Joe Fudge Those hurricane force winds last summer did more than damage the roofs on our homes and businesses. I'm finding many trees uprooted in our forests. If you have several blown over, you might be able to salvage many of them if you don't wait too long, since they still have a few roots intact which will keep them alive for a period of time. On another note, contrary to popular belief, most mature trees do not have tap roots. Most of a tree's roots are in the top 18 to 24 inches of the soil. 2024-03-18 08:45:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge Birthdays and Anniversaries for March 18 Happy Anniversary, Randolph and Ruth Ann Lewis | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bobby Ray England (1981) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Byron Rodgers | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Destiny Jade Burton (2015) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Eric Minton (1995) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeanie Withers | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, June Shanklin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kantlee Joriah Destynei Grace Harvey (2009) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lacey Blaire Sexton (2005) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mike Rotch (1969) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nick Palumbo (1985) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sandra Thorpe, grandmother of Victoria Thorpe Luttrell | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sandy Coffey | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Summer Brooke Whittington (1997) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Trinity Jade Hancock (2011) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tyler Hovious (1985) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Whitney Stearns | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Larry L.
