FRANKFORT, Ky. â Gov. Andy Beshear and Kentucky Electric Cooperatives encouraged Kentuckians to âBeautify the Bluegrassâ for the fifth straight year by improving public spaces across the commonwealth.
âOver the past year, weâve seen Kentuckians come together again and again to protect their communities. As we head into a beautiful, hopeful spring and summer, weâre asking Kentuckians to come together in a new way, by identifying a project to help revamp, improve or beautify their community,â said Gov. Beshear. âFrom landscaping to painting, dozens of Kentucky communities have been enhanced in recent years through this initiative, and I am excited to see how our people will âBeautify the Bluegrassâ again in 2021.â

Gov. Andy Beshear has announced his selection of 12 projects totaling $692,058 to receive funding from the Recreational Trails Program (RTP), all of which will upgrade parks and recreational spaces across Kentucky.
Communities selected for funding are Carroll County, Franklin County, Garrard County, Harlan County, Hart County, Henderson County, Martin County, Perry County, Shelby County, Madisonville, Morganfield and Corbin.
“Our parks and outdoor spaces are critically important in our communities and enhance the quality of life for Kentuckians by providing safe, green spaces to exercise and spend time with loved ones,” said Gov. Beshear. “Additionally, as we work to make Kentucky a world-class tourist destination, some of these improvements will attract tourism dollars that will help strengthen our economy to build the better Kentucky we’ve always imagined.
