House approves $100,000 for Heartland Commerce & Tech Park

Heartland Commerce and Technology Park is on KY 55 approximately 8 miles from Adair County

The United States House of Representatives approved a measure to designate $100,000 for the Heartland Commerce and Technology Park in Campbellsville, U.S. Representative Ron Lewis announced Tuesday, July 24, 2007. Funds were included as part of the Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (H.R. 3074).



"These funds will help the Industrial Development Authority support infrastructure improvements to attract new industries relocating to Taylor County," said Lewis. "Taylor County's continued economic rebound is a remarkable example of public-private partnerships at their best, elevating regional employment and quality of life."

Designated funds will be used to develop two engineered, pad ready sites in the current business park.

"We are very appreciative of Congressman Lewis's support of the Heartland Commerce and Technology Park," said Team Taylor County Executive Director Ron McMahan "This project, along with the Heartland Parkway, are the most crucial initiatives for the future economic growth of the Heartland region."

Tuesday's action by the House is first step in the appropriations process. The Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act will be considered in the U.S. Senate and by a joint Conference Committee before being sent to the President to be signed into law later this year.
