Al Hardy: Peggy and I fell in love...

Al Hardy writes:
For years when asked if I knew anything about Columbia/Adair County, I would say, "I just know how to go through it on the way to some other place."

After serving nearly 2 years as interim Pastor of Columbia Baptist Church, I can truly say I know some of the finest people in the world. Peggy and I fell in love not only with those of CBC but also with many citizens of Adair County. Thanks for making us feel welcome.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

EDA gets good and bad news at 15 Dec 2015 meeting

CACEDA hears of possibility of a new insurance call center bringing 30 jobs; but that news dampened by news that the Department of Local Government is not funding a badly needed sewer project in Green River Commerce Park. Lease money at the GRCP will be down by almost 34% for 2016.
Click on headline for complete story

By Ed Waggener

Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Authority President Mark Dykes had good and bad news for the board meeting this morning, announcing the prospect of a 30 job insurance call center. He said that the local individual who was initiating the idea already has suitable locations from which to choose, and would be awaiting a board decision expected soon. That was the major good news.

At the same meeting, he announced the bad news, that the Department of Local Government in Frankfort had sent a letter to Judy Keltner at Lake Cumberland Area Development District that the sewer expansion for the Green River Industrial Park would not be funded because the "EDA (state in this case) is out of money."
