It was our pleasure to help mark a giant leap for regionalism yesterday at the groundbreaking for the Triple Crown Business Park in Berea. This event was a watershed moment for the Central Kentucky Business Park Authority, a multi-jurisdiction collaboration between the cities of Lexington and Berea and Scott and Madison counties. Through their unique collaboration, these local governments are creating opportunities for growth all along the I-75 corridor.

McBrayer attorneys Anne-Tyler Morgan and Neal Morris joined with Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton, Berea Mayor Bruce Fraley, Madison County Judge/Executive Reagan Taylor, Scott County Judge/Executive Joe Pat Covington, Representatives Josh Bray and Deanna Gordon, Senator Jared Carpenter, and Rocky Atkins, Senior Advisor to Gov. Beshear, along with numerous community partners, local officials, and representatives from Congressman Andy Barr’s office to break ground. It has been McBrayer PLLC's pleasure to support this project since its inception.

Congratulations to the Central Kentucky Business Park Authority on this significant milestone!
