BOARD REPORT 📝TL;DR: The BRADD Board of Directors met yesterday, recognizing October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, approving 10 new clearinghouse projects, receiving Q1 committee updates from finance, aging, water management, transportation, and economic development, and learning vital information on Recovery Ready Communities from guest speaker Dallas Hurley.FULL REPORT:The BRADD Board was proud to host Dallas Hurley with Volunteers of America as the guest speaker yesterday afternoon. Mr. Hurley provided vital information on the progress made across the Commonwealth to implement Recovery Ready Communities. This initiative utilizes opioid abatement funds to build resilience and provide a measure of a city or county’s substance use disorder recovery efforts.Local officials, community members, advocates, and health departments can apply to evaluate their community’s current recovery treatment programs and interventions to get the most out of positive public health outcomes. Within the region, Warren County has been recognized as a Recovery Ready Community and Allen County is currently in the application process!Our Board approved 10 clearinghouse projects that included vital improvements to water quality and reliability in Logan County, Morgantown, Allen County and Edmonson County. Clearinghouse projects also included a potential future “pedal park” at Hobson Grove Park in Bowling Green, multiple recreation-based improvements in the Delafield neighborhood of Bowling Green, and a mixed-use trail in Edmonton.While clearinghouse projects have many layers of approval to reach before seeing substantial progress, they represent more than $23 million in future investment in our region!The Board passed a resolution to approve and adopt the 2026-2027 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy, an annual update that guides our priorities for investment across our ten counties. The CEDS plan is always publicly available on our website.BRADD staff, board members, and attendees wore pink in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and those in attendance recognized the recent loss of former Scottsville Mayor Rob Cline.Finally, attendees recognized Jennifer Wade for celebrating one year of employment with BRADD.
