Resources and Assets Volume II A Compilation of Resources and Assets Kentucky Department for Public Health Cabinet for Health and Family Services 275 East Main Street Frankfort, Kentucky 40621 This document provides numerous state assets and other resources that could play roles in implementing health improvement strategies.

The world was experiencing a global pandemic due to the coronavirus, also referred to as COVID-19. Millions of Americans across the nation, including the Commonwealth of Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky lived through various stages of Shelter at Home/Healthy at Home and Healthy at Work orders there were implemented mid-March 2020 through June 11, 2021. Students in P-12 schools and colleges and universities received instruction through a variety of non-traditional methods during the 2020-21 school year, including online instruction and limited on-site class size using a hybrid method. Other than health care workers, first responders, and essential business workers (pharmacies, grocery stores, drive-through/curb side/delivery food service, gas stations, hardware stores, and agricultural businesses), all non- essential businesses in Kentucky were closed for three (3) months. Hundreds of thousands of workers applied for unemployment, Medicaid, and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in a state system that was never designed to accommodate the level of need it has been experiencing. The federal government approved an economic stimulus package to help families and businesses. Child care centers, initially closed to all but health care workers, re-opened to a reduced number of children under strict state requirements and guidelines.

  • The Appalachian Regional Commission's Use of Tourism As An
    THE APPALACHIAN REGIONAL COMMISSION’S USE OF TOURISM AS AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT TOOL IN EASTERN KENTUCKY: 1965 - PRESENT by Taylor Marin Matthews A thesis submitted to the faculty of The University of North Carolina at Charlotte In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in History Charlotte 2018 ©2018 Taylor Matthews ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT TAYLOR MARIN MATTHEWS. The Appalachian Regional Commission’s Use of Tourism as an Economic Development Tool in Eastern Kentucky: 1965 – Present. (Under the direction of DR. AARON SHAPIRO) A federal agency that was established during the War on Poverty, the Appalachian Regional Commission was created to help develop the Appalachian region through economic development initiatives and improve residents’ quality of life. Critics have called the agency a boondoggle that ignores certain parts of the region, especially the poorer areas. An analysis of the Appalachian Regional Commission’s tourism development initiatives in Eastern Kentucky, an especially impoverished area in the agency’s purview, revealed that earlier criticisms are not quite correct. While Eastern Kentucky’s tourism industry is not as robust as its neighboring states, it still benefits the area not only economically, but also serves to preserve cultural and artistic traditions and strengthen leadership within communities. The analysis also revealed that the Appalachian Regional Commission’s tourism development methods do not prioritize certain regions over others and help prevent outside control of any tourism projects that are developed. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Foremost, I would like to acknowledge my thesis chair and advisor, Dr. Aaron Shapiro, for his guidance in the process of researching and writing this thesis.

  • Rails to Trails
    Kentucky Statewide Rail Plan 2015 CHAPTER 6: RAILS TO TRAILS PROGRAM This chapter presents Kentucky’s Rails to Trails Program, including a description of the program, trail development, controlling legislation, agency coordination, funding, and the current status of the rails to trails system in Kentucky. 6.1 INTRODUCTION The most common type of rail trails are public paths that have been created along inactive and/or abandoned railroad corridors. These paths are used for non‐motorized activities such as walking, running, bicycling, and equestrian. Currently, more than 21,437 miles of rail trails are in service in the U.S., with more planned.86 An abandoned rail line is railroad right of way on which rail service has been discontinued and the STB has approved the abandonment (further discussed in Section 6.3). Rail banking is a method of preserving rail right of way for interim trail use while giving the railroad the option to reactivate service and/or reinstall the tracks at a later date. The right of way must be rail banked after the railroad has filed for abandonment but before STB issues final approval. Non‐ profit groups or governmental agencies may assume the taxes and responsibility for the rail corridor, including liability and maintenance. Once this process is complete, a trail along the corridor can be created. In addition to rail trails converted from abandoned rail corridors, another type of rail trail is rails‐with‐trails, whereby the rail trail coexists alongside an active rail corridor. A Kentucky example of this arrangement can be found in Bullitt County, where portions of the Bernheim Hike Bike Trail are located within the Bardstown Line rail corridor right of way, owned by the R.J.
