Paducah, KY – The Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce named the local United States Enrichment Corporation plant as its Business of the Year at last night's annual meeting. The Chamber cited USEC officials' work to extend the life of the plant past 2012. They say that will ensure the jobs of around 12-hundred people. The city of Paducah and McCracken County recently pledged their support to lifting the state's moratorium on nuclear power this year. The General Assembly is considering a bill this session which would lift the ban.
