A sophomore at the University of Kentucky, Brooke is earning a double major in Hospitality Management and Spanish Linguistics, with a minor in Latin American studies. Brooke and agriculture met because her first major (Human Nutrition) was in the College of Agriculture. She said she was surprised that though she “had never been on a farm or around anything related to agriculture,” she was actually in the College of Agriculture. After she changed from the nutrition major, she looked into other majors that related to her career interests reflecting that she now preferred the College of Agriculture. “I have always had a passion for serving people, and over the past few years I have spent Brooke on last summer’s internship in Honduras. multiple weeks and months in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, working with Sparrow Missions,” Brooke said. Last summer, she spent an internship in that Central American country. “Not only do I have a passion for serving people in other countries, but also I have a passion for serving the people in my home state and community,” she said. This interest has led Brooke to become a major in Hospitality Management and Tourism. Brooke graduated in 2014 from Anderson County High School as a member of Family Career and Community Leaders of America, the National Honor Society, and Beta Club, where she was community service leader. “I am more than excited to be working with KDA and the Division of Agritourism over the summer to be able to experience what I will be doing when I graduate college and how the farm tourism in Kentucky impacts small businesses and our economy,” Brooke said. Commissioner of Agriculture James Comer Brooke in blue. welcomes Brooke to the intern program. 2 • Agritourism Monthly • July 2015 Impressed Michigan writer treks the Bourbon Trail But, more importantly, you get some great history A bourbon tourist from Michigan advises of a unique bit of Americana — with stories of his favorites on the nine-stop Bourbon Kentucky’s first settlers in the 1700s making family Trail, his preferred host city, and how to businesses that started out in a back shed, the failed Prohibition Era, and the success of bourbon makers big cope with all those tastings. and small.

  • Quality of Life
    QUALITY OF LIFE What makes your city attractive for executives and to attract new talent, and how will Amazon fit, or enhance, the local culture? In response to RFP Question 8 What Makes Louisville Unique Louisville is at a crossroads – both geographically and metaphorically. Positioned between north and south, it draws on both cultures to offer a unique Midwestern and Southern blend of hospitality and industry. Its cultural heritage has given the world famous horse racing events and myriad bourbons. But less known is the high density of immigrant populations, with more than 180 languages spoken in public schools, the second largest Cuban population in the US, and consistent high marks for diversity and LGBTQ support. Louisville shares the challenges of other American cities, but it also is at an intersection of opportunity and the tipping point for major growth. We have witnessed the effects of rapid, unplanned growth in other cities and have instead laid the groundwork for future, equitable growth that provides an opportunity for everyone to reach their full human potential in Louisville. A partnership with Amazon can be a joint venture in building a bolder, stronger model for American cities. Section Contents: • Cost Of Living • Housing • Global Louisville • Sustain Louisville • Parks & Recreation • Arts, Music, Creativity • Sports • Food & Drink • Quality of Life Initiatives • Crime Data COST OF LIVING Louisville is Affordable The living is easy in Louisville.

Waterfront Development Corporation (WDC) transformed industrial land along the Ohio River occupied by an elevated highway, sand and gravel companies, and scrap yards into a new riverside park and gateway to the city. Planning for the park began in 1986 with the creation of the WDC, a quasi-public agency, to oversee the development of Louisville’s riverfront. WDC held ten public meetings soliciting input on proposed development of the site that yielded a strong desire for green space. Subsequently, they initiated an international search for a design firm beginning with a Request for Qualifications to which 85 firms responded.

    Louisville Tourism Fiscal Year Budget 2021 – 2022 Transient Room Tax Breakdown Back on Track As our Louisville Tourism team worked over the last several months laying out the strategies that will help put our destination into recovery mode, I kept postponing these opening comments for fear of yet another pivot. The word of the year for 2020 indeed. And pivot we have. I surely don’t need to enumerate all the ways in which the tourism industry has had to adapt to new normals, but I did want to take a quick look back at how our destination got to the levels of success we were achieving in 2019. I think it serves as a reminder of how creative our industry is, how strong our brand was before the pandemic as it continues to resonate and how we have the tools to truly get back on track and continue driving economic development through tourism. Even before the last decade of unprecedented tourism growth in Louisville with new hotels, a renovated downtown center and attraction investments, there were some key developments that got the needle moving. In 2005, the first major hotel addition in decades, enhancing our convention package long before we would realize the leisure product we enjoy today. Well before our bourbon revolution, Muhammad Ali and his wife Lonnie chose their hometown to open a signature attraction highlighting his ideals and leaving a legacy for us to build international marketing around. New boutique hotels would set an elevated bar for what hospitality could look like in Louisville by repurposing our unique architecture in a modern way.
