⛳ What a great day on the course!

Our annual Industry Appreciation Golf Scramble was a success! We had a great time bringing together our industry partners for a day of golf, friendly competition, and fellowship at Fox Hollow Golf Club.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, everyone who helped make the event possible, and all of our industry partners who joined us! We appreciate your continued investment in Barren County and everything you do for our community.

Here's a little sneak peek from Friday's fun! 📸 More photos to come!

What a great day with the Lead Forward Class of 2026–2027!

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to give this year's class a behind-the-scenes look at economic development in Barren County!

We kicked off the day with mock site visits, toured Nemak and Span Tech, had a great discussion on workforce development, learned about the importance of wastewater infrastructure at Glasgow Water Company, and wrapped up with a discussion on planning and zoning.

Economic development involves so many moving parts, and we loved getting to show this group how it all works together to support growth in our community!

A huge thank you to Nemak, Span Tech, Glasgow Water Company, and everyone who took time out of their day to share their knowledge and expertise. And thank you to the Lead Forward Class of 2026–2027 for your enthusiasm, great questions, and participation throughout the day!

We hope everyone walked away with a better understanding of what goes into making Barren County a great place to live, work, and do business!
