Editor's Notes
- Hopefully you can see from this presentation, we have laid out a very aggressive and broader jobs strategy than we have ever had in this region. The strategy is based on the three T’s: recruiting and retaining targeted industries, growing innovative technology based companies, and attracting and retaining talent. It is a long-term approach with a heavy emphasis on the two critically important aspects of modern economic development: education and quality of place. The parts are interconnected; we are not doing these in isolation. The downtown initiative for example is closely connected to our efforts with high tech companies and the support we give to existing companies.
- I do want to take a moment to recognize a few people; first of all our board of directors, and Darrell Higginbotham our chair. These individuals comprise the most progressive economic development board in Kentucky. Economic Development Secretary Larry Hayes met with our board twice last year -- he echoes that comment around the state in referring to our board and our community as being one of the most visionary in the Commonwealth. Secondly, I would like to recognize our staff. Madison Silvert our EVP, Sharla Austin Darnell our Existing Industry Manager, Becky McCubbins our new business manager, Melissa Shelton our part-time administrative assistant and two others, while technically not EDC employees, are vital members of our economic development team: Downtown Manager Dr. Fred Reeves and Mike Baker our partner in Hancock County. This is the best economic development team in Kentucky. Lastly, I want to recognize the Chamber of Commerce. Our long-term partnership with the Chamber is stronger than ever. Our boards and staff work together toward the common goal of prospering Owensboro. Jody has been a solid partner and a good friend—thank you Jody.
- I want to recognize the city and county governments for their sustained investments. And thanks to the 24 private investors and trustee partners. We have had a 300% increase in private dollars supporting this economic development strategy. New investors are welcomed. Each of you here today is a stakeholder in this work. And we need each of you involved.
