A motorsports organization in eastern Kentucky recently received funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission. Backroads of Appalachia was awarded one million dollars to create several new jobs and enhance marketing and management within the organization. The plan is to promote tourism in the region. The group puts on events using the infrastructure already in place throughout the region.
Erik Hubbard is the founder and Executive Director of Backroads of Appalachia. He said the money will help purchase materials that are required for these events.
