Funds For Area Projects

Funds For Area Projects

Governor, Beshear, along with other state leaders and officials from four Eastern Kentucky counties announce grant funding for projects in their communities. The $2.9 million dollars comes from grants from the Appalachian Regional Commission. In Breathitt County, the fiscal court received $708,500 from the ARC for the South Fork Elk View Campground Project. Officials say the money will go towards constructing a visitor center and creating five new full-time jobs. The project is transforming a former mine site into a tourist destination.
