THANK YOU FOR A SUCCESSFUL 2013! January 2014 Dear Valued Chamber Members, In the past year and nine months, our chamber’s eight county region has lost approximately 3,200 of our 7,500 coal mining jobs and an estimated three more support jobs for each one of those. For generations, the coal industry has been the cornerstone of our economy. While we have always supported, and will continue to support, the coal industry, we realize the need for a new economic dawn in eastern Kentucky. This reality has received tremendous attention from Governor Beshear and Congressman Hal Rogers as evidenced by the recent SOAR Summit in Pikeville, KY. Our chamber was integrally involved in the Summit having 3 board members sitting on panels and myself sitting on the panel discussing Job Creation and Retention. Our region must change the way we do business; the way we recruit new industry and the services we provide to our existing industry. One question I often ask small business owners is what keeps them up at night, and of recent, the answer has repeatedly been “the future of eastern Kentucky’s economy.” Your investment into the chamber allows us to work all day on the things that keep you up at night. We are working every day to improve the local economy, regional unity, foster economic development, and be a leading voice for business in local and state politics. We have spent this last year investing in professional development including attending the Kentucky Institute for Economic Development, Oklahoma University’s Economic Development Institute and being active in the Kentucky Association for Economic Development. We also participated on the executive team with Kentucky Power in the study conducted by InSite Consulting Group that resulted in a Regional Blueprint for Economic Development that we will be implementing throughout 2014. The Southeast Kentucky Chamber will be the leading voice from and for business with regard to eastern Kentucky’s future development. We have made great strides in establishing our reputation as the Voice for Business in eastern Kentucky because it is of utmost importance to us that your concerns have quality representation in the political discussions of 2014. We are happy to announce that we added 33 new members to our organization in the previous 12 months, creating a powerful voice of over 500 businesses representing over 25,000 employees. We would like to assure you that your investment goes toward further advancing the mission of the business community. We have identified county lines as barriers to economic progress and our efforts are already benefitting businesses of all sizes, industries, and locations. With your help, we can achieve better bottom lines for our region’s business community, which positively affects each community involved. Thank you in advance for your continued support, and if you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely,
Jared Arnett, President/CEO Southeast Kentucky Chamber

LEADERSHIP SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY DISCUSSES HEALTHCARE IN KENTUCKY
T
he changes to healthcare have been a leading discussion amongst regional business leaders. During the Leadership Southeast Kentucky January session, the class heard from well-respected regional healthcare professionals and providers, and gained an understanding of the eastern Kentucky’s healthcare environment. Pikeville Medical Center (PMC) graciously hosted January’s session and the class was welcomed by Juanita Deskins, COO, Pikeville Medical Center; Pikeville City official, Sean Cochran, Administrator of Operations; and Pike County Deputy Judge, John Doug Hays.
The class was the first visiting group to tour the new PMC facility. They were able to see the new 1,100+ car parking garage and the new clinical facility additions. A tour of the emergency section gave the class the opportunity to view the new state of the art technology in the trauma center. Dr. Randy Litman, D.O., UPIKEKYCOM, Assistant Dean for Clinical Sciences, presented to the class about the history of KYCOM and what the future holds for the college, their brand new medical school facility, the Coal Building, and the services they are providing for the region through their medical students. Joel Thornbury, Care More Pharmacy, and Roy Reasor, PMC Pharmacist, spoke on a panel about the importance of getting to know your pharmacist and the differences between retail pharmacies and hospital pharmacies. “Developing a personal relationship with your local pharmacist is a beneficial key to healthcare success. Even if it does cost a little more upfront, keeping your healthcare local pays in the end,” said Thornbury.
The class also heard from PMC’s Dr. Tamara Musgrave, Oncology/Infectious Disease/Internal Medicine. Dr. Musgrave gave insight on the importance of having regular screenings each year and the different options PMC offers for cancer patients. Appalachian Pregnancy Care Center’s Kay Hammond, Executive Director, presented to the class the new Scholar House of Appalachia, a housing unit for single college parents. The Chamber would like to thank the sponsors, Appalachian Wireless and Food City, as well as Pikeville Medical Center for making this session possible.

YPEK, ALICE LLOYD, MOREHEAD STATE PARTNER TO CREATE ENTREPRENEUR ACADEMY FOR YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
Y
oung Professionals of East Kentucky (YPEK) is teaming up with Alice Lloyd College’s Entrepreneurial Development Program and the Kentucky Innovation Network office at Morehead State University to launch an Entrepreneur Academy aimed at young professionals. The academy will be focused on three types of entrepreneurs: those trying to launch an innovative startup business, young business owners or managers who want to grow innovative businesses, and seasoned young professional business owners who are looking for new skills or ways of doing business. The academy will occur over a six month period and is the first of its kind in East Kentucky to be aimed at younger professionals. Kevin Smith, founder and President of YPEK, said the goal of the program is to spur more entrepreneurship among young leaders. “Through the Entrepreneur Academy, we aspire to elevate the level of young professional entrepreneurship across the region. As a result, strengthen and diversify our economy by cultivating a robust entrepreneurial community.”
6
The program will have a strong educational component that teaches business owners about emerging trends, the power of the web, innovative means of financing, and more. Halie Smith, Director of the Entrepreneurial Development Program and a Business instructor at Alice Lloyd, said a strong foundation of the technical skills of running a business is vital. “We are looking to provide young professionals with a wide array of essential business knowledge in a unique environment. The skills that will be acquired through this program are invaluable to current and aspiring entrepreneurs.” In addition to providing a technical foundation, the program will allow attendees to create a strong network and to learn from regional business leaders. Johnathan Gay of the Kentucky Innovation Network at Morehead State said it is important that young entrepreneurs in the area be able to lean on one another. “Our hope is that these entrepreneurs can call on one another well into the future and collaborate and share lessons learned, contacts, and more.” He also said learning
from highly successful EKY business owners would be helpful. “There’s a lot that you just don’t learn from books. We’re interested in bringing in some of the more successful business men and women to talk to these folks about that.” Finally, the academy will celebrate these entrepreneurs ‘ efforts throughout the program and after. Kevin Smith said these entrepreneurs represent the future of the region and East Kentucky needs to do all it can to support their efforts. “The future of our region depends on growing our economy. Small businesses are the economic backbone and the job creators of our economy. These entrepreneurs have chosen to work hard, follow their dream, and create jobs right here in the Mountains. Let's work together to support and encourage their endeavors to grow their businesses, create jobs, and contribute to our region." To register for the academy or just to learn more please visit www.ypek.org by January 31 or contact Johnathan Gay at

BREAKS PARK GENERATES $9.2 MILLION REGIONAL ECONOMIC IMPACT IN 2013
B
reaks Interstate Park provided a $9.2 million economic impact across southeast Kentucky and southwest Virginia in 2013, according to a study released last week by the Virginia State Park system. The park also recorded 278,593 day-use and overnight visitors last year. "The value of Breaks Interstate Park can’t be measured simply in monetary terms, but it is great to know that the park is contributing in such a large way to the localities which surround it," said Superintendent Austin Bradley. The economic impact study takes into account not only the park’s revenue, but the direct and indirect impact of tourism dollars generated by the park into the surrounding localities. That includes money visitors spend on items such as food, gas, and supplies while traveling. Breaks Park continues to be a viable and integral contributor to the local economy, said Bradley. He added that as one of the only recreational parks in the coalfields, Breaks Park also offers vital outdoor facilities to the region, and helps to foster an active, healthy lifestyle during a time when obesity rates and other health related problems are on the rise. Breaks Interstate Park is located on the Kentucky - Virginia border and is accessed by State Route 80. Commissioned by the U.S. Congress in 1954, it encompasses more than 4,600 acres is one of only two interstate parks in the United States. For more information about the park, please visit www.BreaksPark.com.

SEC. VILSACK EXPANDS STRIKEFORCE INITIATIVE TO ADDRESS RURAL POVERTY
A
griculture Secretary Tom Vilsack joined Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and Congressman Hal Rogers today to announce the expansion of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's StrikeForce Initiative into four additional states: Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee and West Virginia. "The StrikeForce strategy of partnering public resources with local expertise is helping to grow rural economies and create jobs in persistent poverty communities," said Vilsack. "This is a strategy that is working in rural America and I am pleased that we continue to build on these efforts to bring assistance to areas that need it the most." Vilsack also noted that the StrikeForce strategy is having concrete results in communities across the country. Since 2010, through StrikeForce, USDA has partnered with over 400 community organizations, businesses, foundations, universities and other groups to support 80,300 projects and ushered more than $9.7 billion in investments into rural America, including: The Farm Service Agency saw a 14 percent increase in the total direct farm loan applications received in
StrikeForce areas since the beginning of the initiative. In fiscal year (FY) 2013, the Farm Service Agency provided nearly $9.3 million to fund microloans in StrikeForce areas. Approximately 84 percent of the loans were provided to socially disadvantaged and beginning farmers. Last year, the number of landowners applying for Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) programs in StrikeForce areas increased by 82 percent over the previous year. In FY 2013, the Rural Housing Community Facilities Program obligated a total of $68 million to fund hospitals, libraries and other projects in StrikeForce areas—a 4.5 percent increase over 2012.
Between 2012 and 2013, the Food and Nutrition Service doubled the redemption of SNAP benefits at farmers markets from $2 million to over $4 million in StrikeForce states—a more than 100 percent increase. "Through StrikeForce, we are able to reach people in new ways and bring resources to them directly," said Vilsack. "We are learning better ways to help communities leverage their assets and bring opportunity to their residents." StrikeForce is part of the Administration's commitment to addressing persistent poverty across America. Last week, President Obama announced the first five of twenty Promise Zones, including one in southeastern Kentucky, that target federal resources to cities, rural areas and Tribal communities suffering the worst poverty.

U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE GRIMES VISITS PRESTONSBURG,
U
.S. Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes visited the MAC and laid our her “Kentucky Jobs Action Plan.” The current Kentucky Secretary of State stated that her number one priority will be putting Kentuckians back to work if elected to the U.S. Senate this coming November. There were many promises made to a
crowd comprised nearly 500. The Commonwealth's current and past top Democratic leaders attended, including former governors Paul Patton, Martha Layne Collins and Julian Carroll; House Speaker Greg Stumbo and several other members of the legislature; state Auditor Adam Edelen and state Treasurer Todd Hollenbach; and local officials. Much of the plan called for assistance in dealing with the downturn in the coal economy and Grimes stated she would work to “rein in” the EPA and their overreaching regulations and would strive to secure a "meaningful, long-term place for coal" in the nation's energy mix. The speech overall stayed mostly positive with the typical campaign promises,
PRESENTS JOBS
PLAN
however the speech was not absent of jabs toward Kentucky's five term incumbent U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell. Grimes often positioned Senator McConnell as the cause of the gridlock in Washington and that he puts partisan politics before the people of Kentucky. McConnell's campaign said in a statement to the Associated Press, "Mitch McConnell is a tireless advocate for the region who fights every day to ensure that the same Washington liberals who are supporting Alison's candidacy aren't able to continue to prosecute their war on coal and the entire region." The Southeast Kentucky Chamber of Commerce is non-partisan, and does not support or endorse any political candidates.
GOVERNOR BESHEAR RELEASES PLAN FOR EXTENDING, FOUR-LANING MOUNTAIN PARKWAY FROM WINCHESTER TO PIKEVILLE
G
overnor Steve Beshear released his proposal for accomplishing a project long-awaited by Eastern Kentuckians and given new urgency by shifts in the region’s economy – the widening, modernizing and extension of the Mountain Parkway. “Eastern Kentucky faces a multitude of challenges, made all the more urgent by the rapidly shifting economy. Our people demand a thorough strategy that incorporates efforts to improve economic development and infrastructure for this region,” Gov. Beshear said in a news conference at the Capitol. “Four-laning the remainder of the Mountain Parkway and extending it is a critical step in that process.” To accomplish that, the new Kentucky Highway Plan that Gov. Beshear will recommend to the 2014 General Assembly includes a series of projects, totaling $753.6 million, by which the Mountain Parkway would be widened and thoroughly modernized by 2020. The Mountain Parkway, built more than 50 years ago, runs west to east for 75.6 miles, from Interstate 64 near Winchester to Salyersville. Like Kentucky’s other seven parkways and the former Kentucky Turnpike, it originally was a toll road. The westernmost 45.8 miles of the Mountain Parkway, from Winchester to Campton, has long been four lanes. But the remainder, a 29.8-mile section that runs through Wolfe, Morgan and Magoffin counties, is two lanes, with an occasional 8
passing lane. The Governor’s plan would make that section – from Campton to Salyersville – a four-lane highway. It would then extend the Parkway from Salyersville to Prestonsburg by four-laning 16.2 miles of two connecting routes – U.S. 460 and Ky. 114. At Prestonsburg, the new Parkway would connect with four-lane U.S. 23 – creating a modern, four-lane corridor all the way from I-64 near Winchester to Pikeville. “As its name implies, the Mountain Parkway has been the principal connector between our eastern mountains and Bluegrass region for generations. It’s time Eastern Kentucky was provided the same, basic, four-lane access afforded to other regions of the Commonwealth,” Gov. Beshear said. “Not only does that provide access for Eastern Kentuckians to reach other parts of our state, but it creates an easier path for tourists and investors to stream into this vibrant region.” To finance the Mountain Parkway projects, the Recommended Highway Plan proposes to use $595.6 million of conventional state and federal highway funds over the next six years and $158 million from the sale of toll revenue bonds. Although a tolling plan has not yet been devised, it is expected that tolls would be collected on the entire parkway, from Winchester to Prestonsburg. The authorization to issue the bonds and collect the tolls will not be sought this
legislative session – although part of the overall project, they would not be needed until toward the end of the entire project, Gov. Beshear said. “Setting a concrete schedule to four-lane the Mountain Parkway would be the most far-reaching thing the General Assembly and Governor Beshear could do for Eastern Kentucky this legislative session. It’s time has come, and I want to thank Governor Beshear not only for his support of this project but also for his dedicated efforts in other areas to help this region prosper,” said House Speaker Greg Stumbo. The work on the Mountain Parkway being proposed by Gov. Beshear would likely be broken down into four parts for the purposes of contracts: Construction Sequence 1 – Mountain Parkway from KY 205 in Morgan County to Burning Fork Bridge near Salyersville, in Magoffin County. Construction Sequence 2 – U.S. 460 from Burning Fork Bridge at Salyersville, through a congested retail district, to KY 114. Construction Sequence 3 – KY 114 from U.S. 460 at Salyersville to KY 404 at Prestonsburg. Construction Sequence 4 – Westernmost part of the project area: Mountain Parkway from KY 191, Wolfe County, to KY 205, Morgan County.

ARNETT & COLLEY MEET WITH LEGISLATORS—FRANKFORT KY
I
n January, SEKC President/CEO, Jared Arnett, and SEKC Vice President of Operations, Jacob Colley, spent two days in Frankfort meeting with government officials and the region's lawmakers. The meetings with legislators and government officials focused on the needs of the region pertaining to the Chamber's economic development efforts. Jared and Jacob met with the Cabinet of Economic Development and multiple state Representatives and Senators, sat in Senate and House committee meetings and attended one Senate session. “We were excited to have the opportunity to sit down with our representation and give updates about what we are doing to grow the region's economy. We want to ensure our lawmakers have an understanding of the direction the region's economy needs to go for growth and how we are working everyday to accomplish just that,” said Arnett. “The meetings were extremely positive
and our statehouse representation is excited about the efforts the Chamber is working toward. It is still early in the session and we are hopeful more legislative actions will be made to help our economy and business climate,” said Colley.
OBAMA DEEMS SOUTHEAST KY PROMISE ZONE
I
n a recent announcement, on the 50th anniversary of the “War on Poverty” declared by Former President Lyndon B. Johnson, President Barack Obama announced five “Promise Zones.” The zones are targeted as a major poverty-reduction initiative. The five regions are Southeast Kentucky, San Antonio, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. The counties within Southeast Kentucky that make up Kentucky's Promise Zone are Bell, Clay, Whitley, Harlan, Leslie, Letcher, Perry, and Knox. The only county that falls within the Chamber's footprint is Letcher. The region has not been given money directly. Instead, Obama has promised the zones tax incentives for small businesses and to be given priority when applying for federal grants through public service programs in housing, education, and so on. While Congress has yet to vote on the details of this plan, Kentucky is aiming to receive help for job training and readiness. The designated counties are hopeful that the Promise Zone pledge will help spark economic activity as it is a dire time in region's economy with the downturn in the coal industry. The Chamber will assist its partner county, Letcher, in any and all efforts to take full advantage of the program once the details are approved and announced. Joe Depreist, Economic Development Director for Letcher County and Southeast Kentucky Chamber President/CEO, Jared Arnett, have had open communication about the new designation. “Joe and I both are hopeful the Promise Zone will be helpful in moving our region's economy forward. Letcher County and the Chamber will be partnering in every way to take full advantage of the program. Right now, it is just a waiting game until the details are available,” said Arnett.

CAPITOL UPDATE
T
he 2014 General Assembly began with Gov. Beshear expressing optimism that the bipartisan atmosphere that enabled the passage of a number of high profile bills in 2013 would carry forward into this session as legislators deal with another difficult budget. As the week concluded, it became clear that fundamental disagreements that play out this session will carry into the fall elections. After two weeks of being in Frankfort, leadership in both chambers have made it evident that they have separate priorities this year. In his State of the Commonwealth address, Beshear focused on
10
the difficult budget situation, something he has dealt with throughout his tenure as governor. He did make a reference to SOAR (Shaping Our Appalachian Region) and has since made several announcements with regard to the SOAR initiative; including a proposal to four-lane the mountain parkway and a grant for increased small business lending. The Chamber has also received word that their is conversation happening about the idea of revamping the distribution of coal severance tax, something our board of directors strongly support. In his Biennial Budget address, Beshear also pointed to a few more SOAR initiatives, including a change in the distribution formula of coal severance and an investment into broadband (in a press conference regarding broadband) and economic development. Over 250 bills and 66 resolutions had been filed for consideration this session. Many more are expected and the session will really begin to heat up after the filing deadline for candidates passes January 28. Our President/CEO, Jared Arnett, will continue to communicate with the leadership in Frankfort to ensure the economy of eastern Kentucky remains a priority. Please contact your legislators and provide them with your opinions and thoughts. We have some hard working legislators that are working diligently for eastern Kentucky. Please assist them in making the right decisions for our community. You can contact your legislator by calling 1-800-372-7181.
