MARCH 2015 BUSINESS FOCUS 3 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT A Collaborative Effort of the Bluegrass Business Development Partnership (BBDP): SUBMITTED BY: Gina Greathouse, Hannah Huggins & Kimberly Rossetti, CLX Economic Development Division Stat of the Month: Average Weekly Wages Improving, But at a Slow Rate Weekly wages in the Lexington area are improving very slowly. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, average weekly wages fell from approximately $778 to a low of $722 in August 2013. Since that time, wages have recov- ered to approximately $746. Nearby metro areas and the nation did not see as large of declines in average wages and have stabilized at higher levels than in the Lexington metro area. The stagnancy of the recovery in Lexington’s metro area wages is largely in response to slower growth in the higher-paying manufacturing sector. Despite the fact that the many local manufacturing facilities are expanding, it is likely to have only a short-term impact on wage growth as much investment and retooling is focused on using automation and robotics. Lexington’s Global Game Jam Helps Grow the Game Development Industry Lexington’s Global Game Jam took place January 23rd through the 25th and was hosted by RunJumpDev. This event serves to grow the game and technolo- gy industry in Lexington through the cooperation of the Bluegrass Business Development Partnership and Bluegrass Community and Technical College. Over a 48-hour period, twenty-four developers came together to produce seven unique games with the theme “What Do We Do Now?” RunJumpDev’s site is a part of the larger Global Game Jam community, which itself had a record-breaking year with 28,837 registered participants across 518 jam sites in 78 countries. This year, Kentucky had three jam sites, including the RunJumpDev site, showing a marked growth in the development of Kentucky games.

  • Sheigra Dxpedition Report
    Sheigra DXpedition Report 12 th to 25 th October 2019 - with Dave Kenny & Alan Pennington This was the 58th DXpedition to Sheigra in Sutherland on the far north western tip of the Scottish mainland, just south of Cape Wrath. DXers made the first long drive up here in 1979, so this we guess, was the 40 th anniversary? And the DXers who first made the trip to Sheigra in 1979 to listen to MW would probably notice little change here today: the single-track road ending in the same cluster of cottages, the cemetery besides the track towards the sea and, beyond that, the machair in front of Sheigra’s sandy bay. And surrounding Sheigra, the wild windswept hillsides, lochans and rocky cliffs pounded by the Atlantic. (You can read reports on our 18 most recent Sheigra DXpeditions on the BDXC website here: http://bdxc.org.uk/articles.html ) Below: Sheigra from the north: Arkle and Ben Stack the mountains on the horizon.

    BOONE Bluegrass KENTONCAMPBELL Region GALLATIN PENDLETON CARROLL BRACKEN GRANT Inner Bluegrass TRIMBLE MASON Bluegrass Hills OWEN ROBERTSON LEWIS HENRY HARRISON Outer Bluegrass OLDHAM FLEMING NICHOLAS Knobs and Shale SCOTT FRANKLIN SHELBY BOURBON Alluvium JEFFERSON BATH Sinkholes SPENCER FAYETTE MONTGOMERY ANDERSONWOODFORD BULLITT CLARK JESSAMINE NELSON MERCER POWELL WASHINGTON MADISON ESTILL GARRARD BOYLE MARION LINCOLN The Bluegrass Region is bounded by the Knobs on the west, south, and east, and by the Ohio River in the north. Bedrock in most of the region is composed of Ordovician limestones and shales 450 million years old. Younger Devonian, Silurian, and Mississippian shales and limestones form the Knobs Region. Much of the Ordovician strata lie buried beneath the surface. The oldest rocks at the surface in Kentucky are exposed along the Palisades of the Kentucky River. Limestones are quarried or mined throughout the region for use in construction. Water from limestone springs is bottled and sold. The black shales are a potential source of oil. The Bluegrass, the first region settled by Europeans, includes about 25 percent of Kentucky. Over 50 percent of all Kentuckians live there an average 190 people per square mile, ranging from 1,750 people per square mile in Jefferson County to 23 people per square mile in Robertson County. The Inner Blue Grass is characterized by rich, fertile phosphatic soils, which are perfect for raising thoroughbred horses. The gently rolling topography is caused by the weathering of limestone that is typical of the Ordovician strata of central Kentucky, pushed up along the Cincinnati Arch. Weathering of the limestone also produces sinkholes, sinking streams, springs, caves, and soils.
