Did you miss lunch?
Thanks to all our members who joined us for the chamber luncheon this week. We had a great turnout! Al Rider, President & CEO, with the Central Kentucky Community Foundation, shared with our group how they can offer people a way to help strengthen their local community by working with donors who want to make a lasting impact on their community through giving. The opportunity is within our grasp for LaRue County.
“Community philanthropy is about connecting the people, money, organizations and essential programs a strong community requires. Community philanthropy is the catalyst that brings the financial wealth of your community and the will of its people together.”
– Al Rider

Welcome to our newest member – Bluegrass Pipeline
The LaRue County Chamber of Commerce welcomes new member, Bluegrass Pipeline!
Bluegrass Pipeline
The Bluegrass Pipeline is a newly proposed project that will transport natural gas liquids, or “NGLs”—commonly used to heat homes, manufacture fertilizers and make adhesives and plastics among other things—from the Marcellus and Utica shale regions of Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio to the rest of the country.
Two of the nation’s leading energy companies—Williams and Boardwalk Pipeline Partners—have partnered to develop the Bluegrass Pipeline. The companies safely operate more than 40,000 miles of pipeline around the country already.
This is an exciting opportunity for Kentucky for many reasons, including new construction jobs, increased tax revenue for local communities, ability to attract new NGL dependent industries and the pride that goes with being part of securing America’s energy independence.
