Regional Summit | Regional Competitiveness Plan
PRESENTED BY:
The Regional Summit provided the opportunity for influential public and private sector leaders within our nine-county economic development region to come together and learn how we can make Central Kentucky more economically competitive for jobs and talent. In a post pandemic world where businesses and people can live and work from almost anywhere, building a stronger region has never been more important. During the full day event, leaders heard from national economic development experts about our region’s strengths, challenges in a post-pandemic world and our opportunities for growth. Leaders were also engaged in breakout sessions focused on the initial key “action items” to building a more competitive region. Through this event, businesses and community leaders got a better understanding of regional issues, and were engaged in solutions to build a more competitive region! If you are interested in being involved in any of the action items outlined in the Regional Competitiveness Plan, contact Andi Johnson.
