“Gov. Beshear and I are proud to announce that the 2021 SOAR Summit will be hosted by the City of Corbin at the Corbin Arena on Oct. 13 and 14 of this year,” announced Congressman Hal Rogers on June 2 at Second and Main in Downtown Corbin.
SOAR, which stands for Shaping Our Appalachian Region, was started by former Gov. Steve Beshear and Rogers to champion local projects, programs, and advocacy for the 54 ARC (Appalachian Regional Commission)-mandated counties in Eastern Kentucky, according to the SOAR official website.
After his introduction, Rogers began his announcement by congratulating Corbin on its accomplishments and revitalization efforts.

I firmly believe there are American citizens and small businesses suffering as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
And I think Americans deserve a shot in the arm via a stimulus check. I m all for it.
Should we be putting money into getting more Americans vaccinated? Absolutely.
Should we be helping out small businesses that have struggled tremendously for over a year? Yes.
