*~ing economic opportunity
, and .jobs for Kentuckians,
', we passed legislation on
,' the final day of session
:.."to approve $15 million in
*bonding for a potential $1
": billion economic develop-
ment project in eastern
:,:;, Kentucky. This amendment
House Bill 482 is the
::/direct result of an oppor-
tunity that opened up as a
result of Governor Bevin
, ,, and the Economic Develop-
.ment Cabinet seeking out
new businesses to come to
Kentucky and employ our
citizens, many of whom are
.struggling just to get by.
' According to the Bevin Ad-
ministration, Kentucky is
' competing with one other
state for this opportunity,
our passage of this
bonding will give the corn-
,,;,pany assurances as to our
ability to help finance this
. project.
., If Kentucky is chosen, it
would provide 1,000 con-
°"strucfion jobs, including
IP
500 permanent positions,
, with an average annual sal-
" , ary of $75,000. This is ex-
: actly the type of economic
C opportunity for our rural
areas that we have been
,*fworking towards; and is
a direct result of the Leg-
7***islature's and the Gover-
:,(;nor's shared goal to make
' *_ Kentucky more business-
friendly. It is my hope that
this sort of positive eco-
; nomic news can spread all
over the Commonwealth-so
• ,that all of our rural areas
can prosper again.
When you take into con-
. sideration the important
,* work that we did earlier this
¢ session to protect innocent
,
, life, create jobs, and save
• taxpayer dollars, it's easy to
( see how significant this ses-
sion was. We accomplished
',' a great deal on behalf of the
citizens of Kentucky and I
¢ look forward to doing the
' same in sessions tr" ome.
As always, I welcome your
comments and concerns
).on any issues impacting
"" our Commonwealth, even
,:o while we are not in session.

to the classes were Se-
niors: Noah Patton, Lau-
ren Craig, Alyssa Williams
and Lexan Gilbert. (pic-
tured reading are Alyssa
Williams and Noah Pat-
ton.) These students who
plan to become teachers
had a great time relating
to the students in these
classes. The books to
read were provided by
Bath Co. Farm Bureau
Women's Committee. An-
other activity of the week
was to distribute a new
book sponsored by Farm
Bureau entitled "The Most
Wonderful Dream" by
Mitchell Tolle a famous
Kentucky artist. The story
is about children grow-
ing up on a farm, loving
the land and dreaming of
farming as adults. A hard-
back copy will be placed
in each school library
and in the two branches
of the Public Library in
Ba;h County. Distribution
of this book is a state-
wide project of the Farm
Bureau Women's Commit-
tees in every county in
Kentucky.
Bath County Tourism Director Brant Frizzell discussed
displays for the planned County History Museum at the
old courthouse on Wednesday evening. Eight of the
large displays are planned to be used in the museum,
along with the wall space along the back of the up-
stairs courtroom and possibly the upstairs east wing of
the courthouse for local military history.
Local interest in the History Museum is growing, and
plans are being made to have all of the displays con-
structed by the end of April.
If you are interested in taking part in the planning of
the museum, or you have historical items you would
like to donate, or loan, please contact any member of
the Tourism Council (Frizzell, Rob Kiskaden, Jason
York, Andy Crouch, Felicia Stalder, or Cecil Lawson).
