The October 2006 Issue of the South Central Business Journal brings the following thoughts toward gaining and retaining businesses to any area. Governor Ernie Fletcher brings to the readers' attention the fact that an increasing number of new economic development ventures exhibit a high degree of innovation in concept and implementation. Innovation means putting into practice creative ideas. Working together, the groups in a community can grow an economy. Many areas in Kentucky must depend on working together to attract and create businesses. Kentucky has a network of regional INNOVATION and COMMERCIALIZATION Centers and INNOVATION CENTERS funded by the Cabinet for Economic Development's Department of Commercialization and Innovation. The Central Region ICC in Bowling Green has helped attract companies by creating bottom line business reasons for them to locate and remain in South Central Kentucky. Creating high-tech facilities and jobs is essential as is the long term success of our economy - both based on a "culture of innovation." The statewide ICC/IC program offers training to Kentucky businesses and entrepreneurs to help increase knowledge of entrepreneurship, start-up processes, and investment practices. Many businesses have found this training especially helpful. Speaker of the House Jody Richards writes in the same issue of the South Central Business Journal that an increasing number of studies prove that our best way to improve the economy is to improve our education system. Firms considering relocating to Kentucky or expanding present operations say the most important inventive is a well-trained, educated work force. It is necessary to provide students the means to access skills and the ability to understand more about the world. The 2006 General Assembly has taken major steps towards improving schools from kindergarten through college. This will make Kentucky a more attractive place for businesses and our families. Learn more about the ICC/IC by contacting the local Chamber office. New Member Highlights! The "Welcome Mat" is always out to new members. We are happy to welcome the following members to the Columbia - Adair County Chamber of Commerce
