Lake Cumberland Area Development District celebrates 50 years Public Invited to Open House on April 23 By Chari Bennett On April 23, 2019, the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, Inc. (LCADD) will celebrate 50 years of service to Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor and Wayne Counties. The public is invited to celebrate this milestone anniversary during an open house to be held at the Lake Cumberland ADD's office located at 2384 Lakeway Drive in Russell Springs on Tuesday, April 23 from 10amCT until 2pmCT. Despite its long history, many are unfamiliar with the purpose and services provided by the Lake Cumberland Area Development District. LCADD is one of Kentucky's 15 area development districts which provide coverage to all 120 counties. Area development districts are non-partisan regional planning agencies and function as extended staff for local government officials. As LCADD Executive Director Darryl McGaha explains, "Area development districts offer local governments access to a professional staff with various fields of expertise, which many cities and counties could not afford individually." LCADD is governed by a Board of Directors which is comprised of the County Judge-Executives, Mayors and non-elected citizen members from the 10-county area. Board members representing Adair County are Judge-Executive Gale Cowan, Mayor Pamela Hoots, Sharon Payne and Curtis Hardwick. Over the past 50 years, the Lake Cumberland Area Development District has evolved in response to ever-changing community needs, and continues to provide a wide range of services to cities, counties, businesses, non-profits and individuals. The Community and Economic Development Department provides technical assistance, financial packaging, grant writing and project administration. The Planning Department provides regional transportation planning, water and wastewater planning, Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy preparation, GIS/GPS data collection and mapping services. The Workforce Development Department offers career planning, training opportunities and job placement at Kentucky Career Centers located within LCADD's 10-county area, plus Rockcastle, Laurel and Whitley counties.The primary focus of the Lake Cumberland Area Agency on Aging & Independent Living is the delivery of various services to eligible persons aged 60 years and older. These services may be provided in-home through the Homecare Program or at a congregate setting, such as the senior citizen's centers. Adair County's Senior Center is located at 901 Hudson Street, Columbia, Kentucky. For more information about the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, please visit www.lcadd.org.
