Open Sign

The Bluegrass Economic Development Advisory Council (BEDAC) is made up of regional economic development stakeholders, including County Economic and Industrial Development Authority Directors, Chambers of Commerce, and representatives of various industries from around the region. The committee meets quarterly to discuss future industrial and economic development in the region, to collaborate to solve challenges and barriers to growth that member communities are collectively facing, and to review grant funding applications related to economic development that have been submitted around the region.
 

The Council also serves as the primary set of stakeholders to assist BGADD staff with the region’s
Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, also known as the “CEDS Plan.” The plan is updated annually and is rewritten every five years.

Members: 34                               

Meetings: 4 per year

 

The Bluegrass Economic Development Advisory Council is directed by the 

Community Development Department.

 

Chair of this committee is Judge Executive Reagan Taylor, Madison County
