Bluegrass Region's 2019 Federal Priorities
More than 50 Central Kentucky business, government and community leaders attended the annual Bluegrass Region’s annual Washington, D.C. Fly-In presented by Columbia Gas of Kentucky on July 24-25, 2019. The two-day trip offered attendees the opportunity to meet with members of Kentucky’s Congressional Delegation, various agency officials, Congressional staff, and legislative experts to learn about key issues and promote policies that help businesses in the region.
Attendees on the trip are diverse and represent various sectors of the local economy such as government, banking, health care, non-profit, education, manufacturing, energy, and professional services. Members of the delegation act as “policy ambassadors” for Central Kentucky. They share the issue concerns of the business community with members of Congress, and advocate for policies or projects aimed at making the region a better place to live and work. This year’s Bluegrass Region 2019 federal advocacy priorities included:
