The Pennyrile Area Development District Board of Directors heard from the Kentucky Procurement Technical Assistance Center at Monday’s meeting and about how they serve the Commonwealth.
KYPTAC State Director Nancy Brown says the focus of the center is helping to provide businesses and agencies with the supplies and resources they need to succeed, while promoting inclusive economic development. They do coaching and training, and advocate to large companies on behalf of smaller entities to help them compete in the government space.
She says that several offices are already in place across the state, with a new one set to open in western Kentucky in the coming months. Their efforts are free of charge, since they are funded by government dollars.
A Kentucky Senator from Trigg County was thanked for his service in Frankfort Monday afternoon during the Pennyrile Area Development District (PADD) Christmas Legislative Update virtual meeting.
Senator Stan Humphries of Cadiz announced that he would not seek re-election during the same meeting last year. The outgoing Senator thanked everyone he had worked with during his time in office, especially those who had conversations with him in the last year.
Board Vice-Chair and Trigg County Judge-Executive Hollis Alexander thanked Humphries for his service, especially when it came to a TVA bill.
Regarding that TVA bill, Senator Humphries said the interesting thing to come is how the state bounces back from the COVID-19 pandemic.
