Kentucky Chamber Report

By KPR

Frankfort, KY – The Kentucky Chamber of Commerce says the commonwealth is making gains most of the areas that make up the foundation of its strategic plan for improving the state. That's according to a progress report issued today Monday during the chamber's annual economic summit in Louisville.

Bryan Sunderland is the business group's Vice-President for Public Affairs.

"Education, government modernization, health and wellness, global competitiveness and on energy. and in four of those five goals we're moving forward."

The report describes Kentucky's status in the health and wellness category as "standing still," citing the state's continued low rankings on national indicators and the failure of wellness initiatives in the 2010 General Assembly.
