Continuing a long-term commitment to healthy communities for central Kentucky homeowners, the Lexington-Bluegrass Association of REALTORS® (LBAR) announced its $2,000 investment in the Cynthiana/Harrison County Economic Development Authority. Over the past 15 years, LBAR has made available over $500,000 to promote economic development across central Kentucky.

This initiative supports activities directly related to job creation, expansion and retention. A financial investment is available to each local economic development organization within LBAR's 22-county primary service area as a way to fund programs that will promote and build the local economy.

LBAR President Al Blevins said, “By providing support to the organizations that help attract, develop and expand businesses, and ultimately create jobs, LBAR is partnering with these communities to provide resources, foster regional collaboration and facilitate positive economic results. Studies show that a strong real estate market is the foundation to a healthy community and this investment is the Association’s dedication to achieving that goal.”
