Continuing a long-term commitment to healthy communities for Central and Southern Kentucky homeowners, Bluegrass Realtors® announced its $2,000 investment in the Mt. Sterling-Montgomery County Industrial Authority. Over the past 19 years, Bluegrass Realtors® has made available over $650,000 to promote economic development across the region.
“Bluegrass Realtors® partners annually with communities to provide resources, foster regional collaboration and facilitate positive economic results,” said Kelley Nisbet, president of Bluegrass Realtors®. “The support provided to these local organizations will help attract, develop and expand businesses, and ultimately create jobs. Studies show that a strong real estate market is the foundation to a healthy community and this investment is the Association’s dedication to achieving that goal.”
This initiative supports innovation and activities directly related to job creation, expansion and retention. A financial investment is available to each local economic development organization within the Association’s 30-county primary service area as a way to fund programs that will promote and build the local economy.
“Many thanks to Bluegrass Realtors® for supporting the Industrial Authority this year, and for the interest and investments the Association has made annually in our community throughout the past decade,” said Al Blevins, board member of the Mt. Sterling Montgomery County Industrial Authority. “This funding will allow the Authority to continue the pursuit of needed federal grants to provide economic development opportunities in our area. This program shows that Realtors® do more than just sell real estate.”
