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.
Congratulations to all honorees!
Grayson's
Renaissance application complete
 The
over 100-page application with its substantiating materials and
map overviews of the designated areas has been signed, sealed
and delivered -- so now the waiting game for the local Renaissance
committee begins. The State will determine if Grayson has what
it takes to become part of the program. Orathy Gibson has done
a remarkable job in gathering the people and data needed to fulfill
the requirements to get our our city on the trail of a Bronze
Level Certification. Thanks to all those who carried materials,
filled out inventories, shared their ideas, and worked to promote
the project. The Renaissance
Project aims
to plot the course that will allow a town to re-claim the charm
and energy that its downtown area once had. Preserving the historic
appeal of properties will enhance the allure of the center of
the city and events are structured to bring people back to the
Main streets. Want to be involved? Click

Memory Days
'02 one for the record books
 What
an amazing week of events! Great fellowship, a huge parade, new
fun events like the Dog Jog , great old favorites like the Jaycee
Horse Show and terrific weather to top it all off. Chairman Robert
Caummisar and his hard working committee did a superb job planning
and implementing all the activities. Whether you were in the
mood for nostalgia, Art-in-the-Park, a funnel cake or a chance
to kick up your heels with Music and Dancing on Main -- there
was plenty of fun to go around.
Candidates
go on record with views and ideas
 A
joint project between the Grayson and Olive Hill Chambers of
Commerce recently put questions to the Judge Executive, Magistrate
and Sheriff's candidates running in Carter County. The structured
evenings featured hard-hitting questions that go to the heart
of issues that will face the county in the years to come. Topics
raised were: mandatory garbage collection for the county, planning
and zoning, formation of a library district, plans to strengthen
county infrastructure, formation of recreational opportunites,
making fiscal court meetings more accessible to public and the
willingness of the court's members to actively seek economic
opportunities for the county.
Two from Carter
up for Small Biz awards
 The
Northeast Kentucky Small Business Awards, honoring achievement
among businesses and individuals in Carter, Boyd and Greenup
counties is scheduled for early May 2002. The event is coordinated
by the MSU/Ashland Small business Development Center, Ashland
Alliance, Ashland Main Street, The ACC/ Entrepreneur Center and
the Grayson Area Chamber of Commerce and is a highlight of National
Small Business Week. Best wishes to Robert Caummisar, nominated
for Non-Profit Advocate of the Year, and the Grayson Conference
Center, nominated as New and Emerging Business of the Year.
