Advancing economic development through recreational tourism is the aim of legislation passed during the closing days of the General Assembly session. The measure was approved in both Houses and establishes the Kentucky Ohio River Regional Recreation Authority. Maysville Mayor Debra Cotterill testified in favor of the bill.
“And we have several projects going on in Maysville right now, all connected to the River, including riverfront development. And I think this Authority would help not only Maysville but all of the towns along the River,” said Cotterill.
