More Than 100 Attend SPEDA Open House and Ribbon-Cutting

Posted on 7 years ago

Somerset, Ky. – The Somerset-Pulaski Economic Development Authority (SPEDA) staff and board members welcomed more than 100 community members at an open house and ribbon-cutting Thursday, Aug. 29 — introducing them to their new office space at the City of Somerset Energy Center and to their mission and purpose.

In partnership with the Somerset-Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce and its Business After Hours series, SPEDA staff and board members shared with attendees the progress the organization has made in just seven short months of existence. In addition to hearing about the organization’s new brand, programs and initiatives, community members had the opportunity to walk through SPEDA’s third-floor office space, which includes a hallway and conference room lined with dynamic photos of the community.

Check out this article from The Lane Report to learn more about this exciting event.
