"This project is going to bring jobs, opportunity and transform travel and commerce on I-71 and I-75. We are getting a project done that has only been dreamed about for decades. There's a lot of excitement and anticipation surrounding this project and these open houses are a great way to help the public track our progress."

"The $65 million portion of that fund designated to help counties, cities, utilities and nonprofits recover has been almost entirely expended. I had originally asked for $125 million for this portion of the fund, and now this portion is running low, and we need to replenish it. The needs are still very significant. Counties that were impacted cannot thrive without additional funding. At the beginning of the next session of the General Assembly, I will be recommending additional funding and will ask that they put an emergency clause on it so it can be opened up immediately."

"This team truly did defy the odds and I have no doubt their efforts helped so many of our Eastern Kentucky families get back on their feet so they could start recovering and rebuilding. Congratulations to the team at the Breathitt County Public Library. You truly are Team Kentucky All-Stars."
