Local leaders
honored at awards banquet
 A
highlight of the GACC annual meeting is the recognition of the
heroes and leaders that work each day to make our community a
better place. The award categories speak to each sort of service
-- both professional and volunteer, veteran leaders of the city
and young people just getting involved in community service.
For a complete list of the 2001 honorees, click here. Take a moment to look
over the impressive list of people whose contributions to our
community we honor this year.
Grayson I-64
overpass project complete
The last of the
signs have been hoisted into place, signalling the  completion
of renovations to Grayson's interstate overpass. The bridge that
carries 1 & 7 traffic over Interstate 64 has been redesigned
and reconstructed to support six lanes. The traffic flow has
been greatly improved as the wider bridge, enhanced exit ramps
and dual turn lanes to the interstate are much better suited
to the busy Grayson interchange and will serve the city well
in the years to come.
Chamber site
back online after IP changes
 The
Grayson Chamber website disappeared from the net for several
weeks when the company that provided the site space went out
of business. The Chamber's web pages were hosted along with the
Grayson Area Tourism Commission's site on a server secured by
the Tourism Commission. Both sites were effected when the provider,
Hosting Plans dissolved. Both sites have new homes with HostWay
services and after some adjustements to web addresses and link
checks, they should be back in running order.
Gibson named
to Executive Secretary post
The busy duties
of the Grayson Area Chamber of Commerce  Executive
Secretary position are now in the hands of Orathy Messer Gibson.
Gibson, who also heads a grant writing committee for the chamber,
hopes that she will be able to research, write and secure the
grants that will enable the Chamber to assemble the resources
it will need in the coming years. As more communities and counties
band together to secure a firm economic future for their citizens,
embracing a "regionalism" to reach common goals, it
will be imperative for the GACC to present itself at the forefront
of Eastern Kentucky business areas.
