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.
