Business coach Luke Ramsay to speak on growth from within

A Business Incubator mention has resulted in a guest speaker bringing experience to Columbia. As a City Council member I continuosly study possibilities that can recruit jobs to Columbia, along with ideas to improve historic downtown. I asked Mayor Curtis Hardwick about a study for a city business incubator to support young entrapreneurs and create jobs. He suggested getting more information at the same time Mr. Ramsay was featured at a neighboring county's event. He has since accepted an invitation to speak in Adair County. - LW

Luke Ramsay, Economic Development Extension Specialist with the Community & Economic Development Initiative of Kentucky (CEDIK), will be speaking in Columbia on two upcoming occasions - Monday, July 2, 2018, 6pmCT at the City Council meeting, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, and Tuesday, August 14, 2018, 11:45amCT at the Chamber of Commerce lunch meeting, Roberta Cranmer Dining Center, 430 Helen Flatt Drive, Columbia.

In his presentations, he will explore entrepreneurism (the focus of a business incubator as one leg of the economic development stool) and investing in existing businesses (instead of trying to create or attract new ones) -- "the biggest return on investment for a community."



Before joining CEDIK in 2017, he spent four years as a small business incubator manager and entrepreneurial coach which will allow him to speak on the subject from experience. He is a certified professional coach serving as a liaison between local government and local businesses to help provide insights and strategies so that the whole community can flourish.

His two presentations are scheduled for:

Columbia City Council meeting
Monday, July 2, 2018, 6pmCT
City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY

Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday, August 14, 2018, 11:45amCT
Roberta Cranmer Dining Center, 430 Helen Flatt Drive
on the campus of Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY
