On these tours 25-30 active industrial prospects interested in Kentucky were invited into specific regions of the state and given bus tours of available buildings and sites in surrounding communities. These in-state tours became very popular and were repeated in several regions. KIDC continues to work with the Cabinet for Economic Development and the Kentucky Chamber. However, it has experienced a great deal of change over the past years. The Council is now incorporated and consists of more than 500 members.
Membership is representative of the all encompassing professions of the economic development field.
KIDC's primary mission is to provide the membership with the highest possible level of professional development through education programs and conferences. Great things happen when seeds of growth are planted. Had it not been for the dedication and leadership of the individuals mentioned here, your Council would not be the leading economic development organization it is now. Make sure you take advantage of every opportunity available to you to grow with KIDC and strengthen the organization begun in 1967.
