Synergy Food Group welcomed to Columbia location By Linda Waggener Recognizing opportunities and writing grant applications are works that can drive persons to drink with all the minute details involved in the long process. However, when things finally comes into clear focus, final paperwork is accepted and the grant is won, the result is so very, very sweet. That's the feeling that pervaded among the 50 or so smiling attendees at Tuesdays ceremony announcing the CDBG grant, through the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, which has allowed the City of Columbia, under the leadership of Mayor Pam Hoots, to become owner of the Majestic Yacht property. The building will become home to the Synergy Group which begins its 15-year lease-purchase of the building starting December 1, 2021, with plans of providing 50 jobs in the very near future and growing to over 300 jobs in the coming years. Sweet. Mayor Hoots welcomed everyone to the special announcement event, acknowledging support from the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, City Attorney Derek Helm, United Citizens Bank, City Council members, and state leaders, Congressman James Comer, and Representative Sarge Pollock. In his comments, Comer congratulated both the City of Columbia and Synergy Food Group on a fine marriage for the future of both. A strong proponent of Kentucky agriculture and Kentucky Proud farm products, he was glad to hear Synergy is going to be using Kentucky farm foods in their food marketing. Official welcome from the Kentucky Senate A citation was read from the Kentucky Senate by newly elected Representative Michael 'Sarge' Pollock. The message read: "Synergy Food Group is recognized and honored upon having selected the city of Columbia, Kentucky for consideration as the location of its next facility. "Headquartered in Murphreesboro, Tennessee, this internationally recognized organization is dedicated to providing its customers with quality products and innovative services through its current SQF certified production facilities in Georgia, North Carolina, Arkansas, Iowa, and Nebraska. "Inasmuch as Synergy Food Group has the potential to contribute substantially to the economic vitality and employment opportunities in the community of Columbia and the surrounding region, said honoree is offered a warm welcome to the Bluegrass State, is extended best wishes for the utmost prosperity and good fortune in the future and, on the motion of Senator Max Wise, is hereby deemed by this honorable body most worthy of its recognition. "Done in Frankfort, Kentucky, on this 23rd day of November, in the year 2021. s/Robert Stivers, president of the Senate s/Max Wise, member of the Senate" From the company that will move in December 1, 2021 City Council member Craig dean read a statement from the Synergy Group owner, Greensburg native Greg Durrett.
