Madisonville officials talk regional economic hopes

The City of Madisonville is looking to join forces with area municipalities as everyone looks to keep western Kentucky flourishing with economic, industrial and retail developments.

Madisonville Deputy City Administrator Brad Long says they’ll be teaming up with cities such as Hopkinsville to present a strong regional prescience to developers who are looking for a place to call home—and that can benefit everyone, not just Madisonville.

Madisonville Mayor Kevin Cotton says they’re excited to work with their neighbors, but especially Hopkinsville, as he feels a coalition between the two could be a real powerhouse for this region.

The mayor says Madisonville’s tourism has been booming recently, and they’re working on improving traffic flow and parking at events this year, especially events such as the returning hot air balloon event.
