Hal Heiner, who wants to be Governor in Columbia, KY today 2014-09-23 - 212 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Louisville Businessman Hal Heiner one of two announced candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor of Kentucky, is in Columbia today, Tuesday, 23 Sep 2014, and was visiting on the Square prior to going to Lindsey Wilson for scheduled events with campus Young Republicans. Heiner narrowly lost the last Louisville Mayoral contest. His primary focus seeking the governorship is jobs, he said, but he made a strong statement for preservation. "That's one of the most beautiful public buildings I've ever seen," he said of the building in the background, the historic Adair County Courthouse. "It must be preserved," adding, "I'd a lot rather see it preserved, adapted for new uses, than to see it abandoned for a new building out on the edge of town." The statement acknowledges that preservation and growth can offer synergy to communities such as Columbia. Jobs and economic growth are Mr. Heiner's focus. His own business success has been in developing business parks "out on the edge of town," but he sees parallels in preservation paired with "progress." - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
