Meet the Staff of
Ashland Alliance
The Ashland Alliance was formed in 1999 as the joint organization for the Boyd County / Greenup County
Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development organization. Today, the Alliance is a “front-line” advocate
for local business and industry as we work with our many partners to continue to make this area an excellent
place to live, work and play.
Boyd and Greenup counties are located in northeast Kentucky, on the southern border of the Ohio River in
central Appalachia. We have many amenities not enjoyed by other communities our size, including excellent
healthcare, significant arts and entertainment opportunities, top-rated golf and tennis venues, as well as a
multitude of parks, streams, lakes and rivers to enjoy.
Critical to the mission of the Alliance are our ongoing efforts to think, plan and act “regionally.” One of our
greatest and most unique attributes is the Ohio River. It links together our Huntington/Ironton/Ashland metropolitan statistical area, known locally as the “Tri-State” or the “KYOVA” area with more than 350,000 people.
The Ashland Alliance also boasts a membership 500 businesses strong and continues to grow. With a renewed
effort to increase the value of an Alliance membership, companies find multiple occasions to share contacts, buy
from each other, grow relationships and market their products.

Regarding the Ashland Alliance staff, a recent reorganization adds focus to our services for member companies:
Bob Hammond, Director of Business Development – oversees new member growth and adding value to the
memberships of our existing members. Bob has worked at
the Alliance for 13 years and has been involved in economic
development efforts as well. He’s a Louisa, Ky., native and
worked for Hazard Community College before joining the
Ashland Alliance. Bob and his wife Katherine have two sons,
Troy and Benjamin, and all are active in church, sports and
the community.
Paula Mayo, Member Services Assistant / Office Manager –
is primarily responsible for bookkeeping and membership
correspondence / tracking. Paula also is the key person
responsible for the Alliance’s Leadership Program and the
Spring Golf Outing (these are her “day jobs”). One of the
most important responsibilities Paula has, which she
works on 365 days a year, is to ensure the annual Winter
Wonderland of Lights happens without a hitch. She and her
cohort Marion Russell, the Director of Public Works for the
City of Ashland, make an excellent team! Paula enjoys
spending time with her grandchildren and her significant
other of 30 years, Marshall.
Enjoy activities, friends, small-town
charm and freedom from worries.

who keeps everything together and moving. Everyone
knows Missy from her daily duties of answering the phone
and email as she “directs” much of what happens around
the office. Missy also runs our excellent Youth Leadership
Program and is in high demand from surrounding counties
to assist them with their programs. Missy and her husband
Jeff are avid bowlers when not at their church helping with
the youth and music programs.
Bill Hannah, President / CEO – is the newest member of
the Alliance staff, having joined in June 2012. Bill’s overall
responsibilities include the implementation of a strong
economic development plan as well as overseeing the
increased value of memberships and the total growth of the
organization for the good of our community. Bill moved to
Ashland from Tupelo, Miss., and has three sons with his wife
of 30 years, Jennie. AA

A Place to Call
Why Boyd and Greenup Counties are the Perfect Choice
© Ashley G Quinn Photography
Ask
a hundred people why they chose Greenup or
Boyd as their county of residence and you may
receive a hundred different answers. Yet, the
question is still worth asking, as any combination of those answers
may provide you with the reasons you’ll use to call this area your
home, too.
A measure of an area’s appeal as a
place of residence is the quality of life
enjoyed by its citizens. Whether looking
at the school systems, employment
opportunities, recreational activities, the
local art scene or the area’s inherent
scenic beauty…life in the Tri-State is
good.
Our area boasts four distinct seasons,
each with its own options for recreation
and entertainment. The annual Summer
Motion festival in Ashland brings
thousands to the city’s riverfront and
Central Park for fireworks, arts and
crafts, children’s activities, rides, and to
hear world-renowned entertainers,
which in prior years included such acts
as the Beach Boys, Wynonna Judd, the
Oak Ridge Boys, Lady Antebellum, Kool
and the Gang, and more.
When the autumn leaves begin to
fall, festival season begins in the TriState with numerous events to keep one
busy, pretty much every weekend,
including Poage Landing Days in
downtown Ashland and Old Fashion
Days in Greenup. Wintertime brings
more than 750,000 lights to Ashland’s
Central Park during the Winter
Wonderland of Lights Festival.
Boyd and Greenup counties are filled
with parks, lakes and forests, so whether
it’s hiking, hunting, fishing, boating,
picnicking or just animal watching,
outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to
keep them occupied. When you want
recreation indoors, the area’s museums,
art galleries and performance halls can

Highlands Museum & Discovery Center.
The historic Paramount Arts Center first
opened its doors in 1931 and the art
deco-style theater in downtown
Ashland continues to host numerous
musical, theatrical and educational
offerings throughout the year.
Many people choose Boyd or
Greenup counties because of the
area’s reputation as a great place to
raise a family. Known as one of the
safest regions of the country, the TriState
also
features
numerous
award-winning school districts. After
graduating, those looking to further
their education find post-secondary
educational opportunities abound.
Students can pursue college degrees at

o you’re new to the area or thinking about making your home
in Boyd or Greenup counties? Well, there’s one thing you
don’t have to worry about, and that’s finding the right locale
for your child’s education. No matter the age, the region boasts a
slew of high-quality schools with a wide range of academic,
athletic, personal and social enrichment opportunities.
There are six K-12 public school systems
in the region – three each in Boyd and
Greenup counties – each committed to
ensuring students a globally comprehensive
education in a positive, nurturing
environment. All are accountable to the
high standards of the Kentucky Educational
Reform Act (KERA), which is one of the
country’s most comprehensive and
continual educational reform efforts. Each
district’s primary objective is to see that 100
percent of its students graduate and make
a successful transition to productive work
and/or post-secondary education.
There are also three private, faith-based
schools (Rose Hill Christian School, Holy
Family [Catholic] School and Calvary
Christian School) that offer the same
quality educational opportunities, but in a
smaller setting. If it’s higher education you
seek, there are six top-notch colleges and universities in the
area, most located within a 30-mile radius of Ashland. All,
including Ashland Community & Technical College with its
new Technology Drive Campus, work closely with local
businesses and industry to make sure all their graduates are
fully prepared to enter the ever-changing job market.
Fairview Independent Schools
The Ashland Independent School District strives to “instill
a desire for lifelong learning through quality instructional
programs, sound fiscal management, visionary leadership,
and a partnership involving home, school and community,”
according to its mission statement.
“Research validates that parental and community
involvement are critical if students are to reach their fullest
potential,” said Superintendent Steve Gilmore. “With the
schools and the community working together, we can do
great things for children, our most precious resource.”
The district includes six elementary schools, a middle school
and a high school, as well as an alternative school that targets
at-risk students in grades 7 through 12. Enrollment averages
approximately 3,100 students. The district has received
numerous awards for its Student Technology Leadership
Program and is continually finding new ways to successfully
integrate technology and student learning. Paul G. Blazer
High School has two academic teams, 31 athletic teams, seven
national societies and 20 other extracurricular activities.
Boyd County Public School District instructs approximately
3,200 students at four elementary schools, one middle school,
one high school, and an alternative middle/high school
educational program in collaboration with Ramey-Estep Homes
and has posted enrollment growth for the past two years.
The district recently celebrated the opening of its new $42
million state-of-the-art high school, a long-time dream in the

making, but well worth the wait. “It (the new school) is a
beautiful sight to behold from I-64,” said recently retired
Superintendent Howard Osborne. “This facility stands ready
to become a permanent bridge to the future.” The new high
school follows an “academy concept” where academic
specialties are housed in one area. Students can choose a
specific academic course geared toward a particular career
path. There is also a special area designated as the “Freshman
Academy” for incoming ninth graders.
Boyd County continually receives honors including
Outstanding Achievement in School Information Services and
the Eastern Kentucky Counseling Association (EKCA)
Elementary School Counselor of the Year. The Boyd County
High School Band has made it to the “Sweet 16” for several
years and the BCHS Academic Team was named the University
of the Cumberlands Science Olympiad and Chemistry
Symposium Grand Champion Team. The district’s athletic,
academic, and cheerleading squads continue to enjoy great
success.

The third Boyd County district is Fairview Independent
School District, which serves about 800 students in the
residential community of Westwood. The district prides itself
on providing opportunities for extended student
engagement in all classrooms, and teachers focus on
providing real-life applications of core content concepts.
Fairview is “dedicated to challenging and assisting students
so that they can take full advantage of all opportunities,
while meeting all of their responsibilities,” according to the
district’s philosophy statement. “In order to reach this goal,
cultivation of the total child – mind, body and spirit – will be
required, in order that their lives will be rich and
meaningful.” Its sports programs also are enjoying much
success, particularly in cross-country and football. The
football team recently earned a spot in the state finals for
the first time in the school’s history.

Raceland-Worthington Independent School District has
close to 1,000 students at its three schools and calls itself “the

garnered many accolades at the state level. Currently,
Raceland is working on innovative new programs, including
Breakthrough to Literacy, Saturday School, Daytime ESS and
Early Childhood programs. Its elementary school recently

which has about 2,200 students and a long tradition being
a “Great Place to Learn!” at its primary, intermediate,
middle and high school, all centrally located and within

provided “strong, effective academic programs and a wide
variety of quality experiences in athletics, extracurricular
clubs and organizations,” according to its 2010-11 District
Report Card. Challenging content, high expectations and
total district support characterize the learning environment
at all levels. Technology is integrated in every facet of
teaching and learning across subjects. In addition to
computers, all classrooms are equipped with an overhead
LCD projector, a document camera, Internet access and
email. The district recently renovated its intermediate and
middle schools as well as its football facilities. Long-term
plans include the construction of a new high school.
All of Russell’s academic teams have consistently placed
high at the state level including the Kentucky Governor’s
Cup academic competition, Science Olympiad, Math
COUNTS and LEGO League. The school also is proud of the
accomplishments of its orchestra, band and sports teams

Historic Stadium to Receive
Much-Needed Facelift
Thanks to Efforts of Local Group
O
nce a Tomcat, always a Tomcat. That’s the motto of
a group of dedicated Paul G. Blazer High School
multi-generational alumnus who have taken school
spirit to a whole new level, making it their mission to raise
millions of dollars to restore the high school’s crumbling 75year-old football stadium – a place of countless Friday night
gridiron matches, but also graduations, church revivals,
fireworks displays and concerts. In other words, a community
gathering place like no other.
The beloved stadium has served the school and local
community well, but is definitely showing its age (and wear)
from more than seven decades of use. The 11-member
Putnam Stadium Restoration Committee has been working
for more than five years now with plans to build a $5.4
million football showplace. No fundraising effort is too small
or too large for this group – dinners, home tours, letter
writing campaigns – you name it, the group is willing to
tackle it to earn funds to renovate the stadium.
“It’s been a slow process and the economy didn’t help in
that process,” said Greg Jackson, committee chairman. “But,
at the end of the day, it’s Putnam Stadium and there’s
nothing like it. It’s one of the most unique stadiums
anywhere in the state. Everywhere you go, people know the
name Putnam Stadium.”
When it first opened in 1937, the stadium was an
architectural gem with an ornate entryway and concrete
bleachers – a rarity at the time. It was constructed as a
Depression-era WPA project costing $6,500 and wasn’t

equipped with lights until 1944. It is the only stadium
recognized as a Kentucky Historical Society landmark. Plans
are to bring the stadium up to today’s football watching
standards including reconfiguring the space to make it in a
horseshoe shape, increasing its seating capacity by more than
100 with 800 chair back reserved seats. And, of course, given
today’s more modern technology, a large press box wired for
Internet is a must. There also will be new locker room
facilities both for the high school and middle school teams
along with upgraded restrooms and concession stands. For
the 2013 season, guests will be able to watch the game from
new bleachers, the first and most important phase of the
project given safety concerns with the old seats.
This is just the tip of the iceberg for this determined group.
Not only do they want a functional stadium, they also want
something to complement the already beautiful natural
setting while preserving long-held traditions. This includes
long-range hopes for new lighting, a donor recognition wall,
a banked and landscaped end zone, multiple flag poles with
flags recognizing state championships and the ultimate
football field wish – artificial turf.
“This stadium has meant a lot to so many in this
community. We’re going to keep asking for help,” Jackson
added. “When visiting teams walk out of the locker room,
we want them to say, ‘Wow! Would you look at this place?’’’

REAL ESTATE:
Something for Everyone in Every Price Range –
Come, Take a Look
All photos © Ashley G Quinn Photography
F
rom tree-lined boulevards to rural hideaways, the
Ashland area real estate market has something for
everyone.
As the nation rebounds from the housing and lending
industry challenges of the past few years, the Ashland area
is following suit with upswings in both the number of sales
and of existing housing values. However, it is important to
note that the area didn’t experience the extreme highs and
lows of the housing market, remaining remarkably stable
compared to other parts of the country.
Now is an excellent time for those relocating to the area
as well as for local residents looking to upgrade their
lodgings. In 2012, the average price of a home in the
Ashland area was $120,000. Nonetheless, homebuyers can
find dwellings both well below and well above that figure.
Housing options range from million-dollar-plus estates to
quaint starter homes to cozy suburban neighborhoods.
There’s also plenty of land for those looking for out-of-theway residences or perhaps farms. And, buyers definitely can
expect to receive “more bang for their buck,” in comparison
to similar properties and houses in other cities.
Residents enjoy an outstanding quality of life with low
crime rates, low population density, reasonable property tax
rates and a cost of living that is 15.60 percent less than the
U.S. average. The area prides itself on being “family
friendly” and approximately 40 percent of the households
have children.
Most neighborhoods are within a short drive of retail and
restaurant options and the average commute to work time
is just 21 minutes (the U.S. average is 28 minutes), a relative
jaunt compared to traffic in large cities. Those looking for a
big-city type atmosphere can easily make a day trip to
Columbus or Cincinnati, Ohio; Lexington, Ky.; or Charleston,
W.Va.

For those who prefer work and social activities within a
closer proximity, a growing base of downtown housing space
opens up a new lifestyle for those who want the urban
experience. Restaurants and shopping within walking
distance make it a real treat.
There’s also a growing choice of apartment and
condominium residences. Providence Hill offers more than
200 apartments located conveniently close to shopping areas
along U.S. Route 23 in Ashland.
Housing developments in outlying areas such as Russell
and Flatwoods in Greenup County and in parts of Boyd
County surrounding Ashland, offer suburban living close to
schools and workplaces. These developments feature both
existing home sales as well as moderately priced lots for
custom home building. The wooded topography offers
beautiful tree-lined surroundings and natural views.
No matter the housing preference, local realtors can
provide homebuyers with access to the latest market
information. They are extremely knowledgeable about
various neighborhoods – given that the majority are longtime
residents. They are able to answer questions about utilities,
schools, churches and healthcare options as well as serving as
the self-proclaimed unofficial Boyd and Greenup county
welcoming committee.
The realtors, along with local economic development
groups including Ashland Main Street, the Ashland Area
Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Greenup County
Tourism Office, also can be very helpful for those seeking to
establish a new business in the community. In recent years,
the area has welcomed a growing list of retail outlets and
restaurants with several new shopping center developments
in the works. National chain stores and restaurants are
finding the buying power of the Tri-State area makes it an
attractive place to establish a new business. Economic
development efforts also are focusing on revitalizing
downtown areas and encouraging small, locally-owned
businesses to open shop.
From the potential homeowner to the upstart business
developer, real estate choices abound – there’s something for
everyone in every price range. Come, take a look. AA

Faith
“Full”
W
hether you are rooted in
a particular faith, or
looking for a new
“church” home, the Ashland area
offers religious outlets for people of all
denominations. While many of the
area’s churches are as old, or older than
the city itself, new religious outlets also
are blossoming regularly. There is no
shortage of worship opportunities,
with nearly 200 established/organized
churches, ranging from the more
traditional religious groups to the
nondenominational sector, offering
services in the area.
One of those long-time churches is
Holy Family Catholic Church, which
recently
celebrated
its
150th
anniversary. While its buildings and
members may have changed over the
years, one thing has stayed the same –
the church’s devotion to sharing the
traditions of the Catholic faith.
Area churches
offer something
for everyone
“True community also means reaching out
to include others – encouraging the growth
of a diverse community in which all are
welcomed and cared for.”
- Rev. Ike Nicholson
“We’re part of a faith tradition for
present and future generations,” said
The Rev. John P. Noe, Holy Family’s
pastor, “especially with the future
generation which we can see in the
students in the parish school.”
Holy Family is one of several
churches that offers an educational
component to its mission, operating a
private school for children of preschool age until 8th grade.
As if operating the church and the
school aren’t enough, the church also
has taken on the task of sponsoring an
annual community festival, ministering
to inmates at a nearby prison and
offering aid to victims of natural
disasters.
“Our current programs focus quite a
bit on outreach,” Father Noe added.
“We must go beyond the church walls.”
Another long-established church is
First United Methodist Church of
Ashland, affectionately known as the
“chocolate church” in reference to the
dark brown sandstone structure. For
nearly six decades, the church’s mission
has been to bring religious faith to the
area, but also to serve as a place of
fellowship for area residents. Its faith
ministry has expanded to include more
than just worship services, which is
common among many area churches.
For example, First United Methodist is
well-known for its bi-annual Lil’ Lambs
Closet Clothing Consignment Sale. The
sale draws shoppers from throughout
the Tri-State, offering affordable
clothing (and often times at no charge)
for those in need.
The church also is proud of its
children’s ministries. From its annual
summer vacation bible school to its
weekly children’s study group, children
have the opportunity to take part in a
variety of activities to help them learn
about their faith and strengthen their
ties to the community. And the adults
aren’t left out. The church sponsors
“Wednesday Night Live,” a time when
adults can gather for a meal with
fellow churchgoers and then take part
in Bible study or other communityrelated activities.
“Although each religion has its own
personality, there are common
practices which unite all of our
congregations,” according to the Rev.
Ike Nicholson, senior minister of First
Christian Church Disciples of Christ of
Ashland. “As churches grow in true
First Christian Church
Ashland, Ky.
First United Methodist Church
Ashland, Ky.
community, members care deeply for
one another. But true community also
means reaching out to include others –
encouraging the growth of a diverse
community in which all are welcomed
and cared for.”
First Christian Church offers study
and fellowship groups not only to
guide members in religious reflection,
but also as an outlet to ask honest
questions, share opinions and discover
ways to deal with life’s difficult issues.
The church seeks to provide a rich
fellowship and sense of community for
people of all ages and walks of life.
Being in the heart of downtown also
gives First Presbyterian Church of
Ashland a strong sense of civic pride.
Church members can be seen out in full
force during Ashland’s Poage Landing
Days Festival (which takes place
alongside the church’s front entrance)
sponsoring a hymn sing and outdoor
worship service in addition to its
popular bean dinner. These types of
activities go hand-in-hand with the
church’s weekly services as well as
prayer meetings, vigils, and youth-led
Sunday services.
“Christ is not a principle or a
program – it’s so much more than
that,” said First Presbyterian Pastor
Garrett Bugg. “Everything we do ought
to point to a purpose.”
And that purpose – for Bugg’s church
and others in the area – is relatively
simple – ministering to the needs of its
members, offering religious fulfillment
and keeping the community a
welcoming, vibrant place for all its
residents. AA

F
rom the quaint downtown shops to the area’s indoor
shopping malls, residents of Boyd and Greenup
counties need not look far for retail and dining options.
Nestled in the heart of northeastern Kentucky, just 30
minutes from Huntington, W.Va., the Ashland area has an
abundance of shopping centers and restaurants that the
whole family can enjoy.
Fat Patty’s, located on Winchester Avenue just blocks from
the Paramount Arts Center, is the place to be for gourmet
burgers and cold drinks. If you’re hungry for ethnic food,
look no further than Ashland’s Bella Fonte Italian Restaurant
or La Finca’s Mexican restaurant. With its homestyle food
choices, The Lamp Post is a downtown Ashland favorite.
Carter Avenue’s Chimney Corner Café offers seafood, steak
and pasta in a casual atmosphere featuring live music.
Grab a burger at Fat Patty’s or dine on Mexican
fare at La Finca, both located in downtown
Ashland. Or try pizza at local favorite
Giovanni’s which boasts 12 area locations.
At the Pendleton Art Center, art lovers can both browse
the work of several local artists and enjoy dining at CCC Trail
Vineyard Café, offering light lunch fare each weekday. The
art center features the work of local painters, photographers,
jewelers and other artists. Each month, the public has the
opportunity to meet the artists during the First Friday Art
Walk and Second Look Saturday. Center goers can also
schedule appointments with the artists to purchase unique
works. Down the street from the Pendleton Art Center at the
Jesse Stuart Foundation, shoppers can browse new and used
books by the namesake famous Greenup countian and other
regional authors.
Those in the need of formal attire need look no further than downtown Ashland’s Don’s Men’s Shop and Lara’s Bridals and Formals
– both long-time locally-owned businesses.
Shoppers can find everything they need to look great for
that special occasion at Lara’s Bridals and Formals or Don’s
Men Shop, both on Winchester Avenue. Lara’s offers dresses
and accessories for weddings, proms and pageants and has
been in business for more than 20 years while Don’s, also an
Ashland mainstay, caters to the well-dressed fellow.
Fashion seekers also should visit A Boutique and Corbie’s,
both featuring women’s fashions and decorative homeware
items while The Pink Pineapple has everything necessary to
keep moms and their children looking their best in addition
to unique gifts. The nearby Miss Got Rocks has a unique
selection of women’s accessories. Fine jewelry, china and
silver is available at Pollock’s Jewelers, one of Ashland’s oldest
businesses.
Other downtown businesses include the The Frame Up
Gallery/Café Zeal and Aladdin’s Art Gallery, both suppling
everything needed for art and framing. One-of-a-kind
accessories and gifts also can be had at 16th Street’s Holly B’s.
Located just seven blocks north of Ashland’s bridges on U.S.
Route 23, the Ashland Town Center features approximately
70 shops and restaurants. The mall has specialty stores such
as Kentucky Korner and Pam’s Primitives as well as nationally
known stores such as Bath & Body Works, Victoria’s Secret
and rue21. Department stores include Belk, TJ Maxx and
JCPenney, which houses Sephora – a fragrance and cosmetics
store. The mall also features several jewelry stores including
Kay Jewelers and Zales as well as beauty salons MasterCuts,
Regis Hairstylists and Top Nails. Christopher & Banks,
Maurice’s, Aeropostale and American Eagle will keep the
whole family in popular fashions, while those seeking shoes
can visit Payless, Rack Room and Journeys. The mall also
boasts several shops with kids in mind including The
Children’s Place and Crazy 8. GameStop, FYE and RadioShack
are the perfect places to find entertainment and gadgets.
Each Christmas season at the mall begins with the Town
Center’s Magical Night of Giving. Occurring in mid-November,
the after-hours fundraising event features prizes, bargains
and entertainment. Proceeds for the ticketed event benefit
area charities.
A downtown Ashland mainstay, Pollock’s has featured fine
jewelry, china and silver since 1874.
Labeled as a shopping and entertainment destination, the
Ashland Town Center and its surrounding property features
more than 70 shops and eateries along with a 10-theater
movie complex.
The Town Center is also home to many restaurants
including Sbarro, China Max, Rax, The Steakery, Fiesta Bravo,
The Great American Cookie Co. and Panera Bread plus
newcomer Orange Leaf, a design-your-own yogurt sundae
shop. A visit to Cheddar’s Casual Café, conveniently located

Welcome to
the Port of Ashland
New Riverfront Park Popular Gathering Spot

City of Ashland Department of Engineering
T
he City of Ashland is reveling in the recent
opening of the Port of Ashland, its new
riverfront park, marking a proud moment in the
city’s history as it offers residents and guests alike a
beautiful facility for boating, picnicking and outdoor
fairs and festivals along the banks of the Ohio River.
Flanked with beautiful hand-painted murals by local artists
depicting notable historical events and prominent residents,
the park is located alongside the Ohio River with access from
Ashland’s Greenup Avenue and is just a short distance away
from Ashland’s instantly recognizable bright blue and green
bridges – the Ben M. Williamson Sr. Memorial Bridge and the
Simeon Willis Memorial Bridge respectively.
The park, which showcases new boat ramps, walkways, a
lookout point and restroom facilities, is in the first phase of
its multi-million dollar development with plans for continued
expansion including an amphitheater, restaurants and
walking/biking trails.
Each year the park is host to one of the Tri-State area’s
premier festivals – Summer Motion, a week-long event
touting headlining musical acts, refreshments, games, rides
and arts/crafts culminating with an extensive fireworks
display from the river bank. The park also is used for Christian
music festivals, youth fests and as a docking point for paddle
wheel boats cruising the Ohio.
Taking note of the success of other Kentucky cities in
capitalizing on their riverside locales, the long-term goal of
the project is to continue to enhance the riverfront, making
it an entertainment destination while helping in the
revitalization of Ashland’s downtown area. AA
Airport’s
Master Plan
Making Travel to the Tri-State Easier
Photos Ashley G Quinn Photography
L
ocal airports are the gateway to business and pleasure
travel and the Huntington Tri-State Airport (HTS),
located just off I-64 Exit 1 in Kenova, W.Va., is no
exception. The airport is consistently ranked as one of the
fastest growing in the U.S. for its size. In 2010 alone, more
than 117,000 passengers boarded planes at HTS and 2011 saw
a record 14,270 passengers board flights from Huntington
during a single month. The regional airport’s location within
five miles of the borders of both Kentucky and Ohio makes it
ideally situated for local travelers from the Tri-State region.
Currently, the airport offers flights from commercial
carriers U.S. Airways Express and Allegiant Air with an evergrowing number of destinations. Some of the airport’s most
popular destinations include low-fare Allegiant flights to
Tudor’s Biscuit World and Gino’s Pizzeria were added during the
recent remodeling.
favored Florida stops in Orlando, St. Petersburg and Ft.
Lauderdale as well as Myrtle Beach, a favorite vacation
destination of locals. U.S. Airways offers non-stop service to
Charlotte, N.C., with connecting services to most major U.S.
cities and worldwide destinations.
“We sincerely appreciate the support of our community
and the loyalty of our passengers in making all of our routes
successful,” said Airport Director Jerry Brienza. “Our goal is to
continue increasing the ease of travel from the Tri-state area
by bringing new non-stop destinations and competitively
priced fares.”
The airport also is continually upgrading its facilities and is
in the midst of remodeling its waiting areas and dining
options. The Tudor’s Biscuit World and Gino’s Pizzeria have
already been completed and are open for business. It recently
started repairs to its Huntington Jet Center and a runway
rehabilitation project thanks to a $1.21 million grant
from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Airport
Improvement Program.
And while most of us first think of passenger air travel,
HTS’ impact goes far beyond that, becoming a major player
in the development of new business in our area as well as
aiding in the expansion of tourism. It also helps to facilitate
the transport of mail and cargo to local residents. A Fed Ex
branch is located on the airport grounds as well.

Members of the Ashland Alliance’s Young Professionals
Association help Habitat for Humanity.
All Part of Young Professionals Association Membership

T
he vital business community throughout Boyd and
Greenup counties has the fountain of youth on its side
thanks to the Ashland Alliance’s Young Professionals
Association. In an area ripe with music venues, art galleries,
plentiful dining choices and multiple higher education
options, the Tri-State is a natural fit for young entrepreneurs
and professionals looking for a place to call home.
The Ashland Alliance Young Professionals Association
(AAYPA) provides these young business professionals a way
to nurture and develop their own skills and talents, while
ensuring that the area has an experienced, qualified
workforce for years to come.
Young professional organizations have sprung up
throughout the country as a means of providing young,
talented professionals a chance to network, both socially and
professionally, while developing community leadership skills.
Members explain the benefits of being a part of an
organization like AAYPA to employees at Marathon.
In 2003, under the direction of the Ashland Alliance, local
residents Paul Craft and Shaun Kiser founded the AAYPA as
an effort to encourage socialization among the 21- to 39year-old emerging professionals of the area. Craft, an
attorney with McBrayer, McGinnis, Leslie & Kirkland, PLLC,
and Kiser, an investment officer with Peoples Bank, saw the
potential and aptitude in the young workforce of the
Ashland area after seeing the success of similar groups in
other metropolitan areas.
“Other young professional groups in cities like Cincinnati
were doing a good job providing a place for members to
meet, but also making a name for themselves while having a
positive impact on their community,” Kiser said. The Ashland
area would prove to be no different.
Since 2003, the organization has quickly grown, currently
with about 60 active members, thanks to the efforts of the
board of directors who help guide planning and growth. The
board meets monthly to review the budget, community
service projects, social networking events, educational
opportunities and membership. Sub-committees, consisting
of board members and members at large, also meet to assist
the organization with its various projects.
The AAYPA is an excellent opportunity for young
professionals to meet, network, learn and work together to
enhance the area. Some members grew up calling Boyd or
Greenup counties home and some moved to the area by
choice, based on appealing demographics and economic
climate.
In addition to the many networking benefits, the AAYPA
also offers a chance for members to grow and learn from
each other, as well as from current and former community
leaders and mentors. A quarterly “Leadership Luncheon”
gives members a chance to dine at the luxurious Bellefonte
Country Club (which proudly accepts AAYPA members,
often at reduced fees based on age) and listen to a variety
of educational topics presented by successful business
professionals and leaders.
For those looking for casual networking or civic
engagement, the AAYPA offers many chances throughout
the year to meet casually for lunch or drinks. Popular
membership activities range from bowling at the local alley,
to meeting up at Ashland’s First Friday or attending the
Ashland Alliance’s Business After Hours events. Nothing
brings people together like helping others, which is one
reason the group is heavily involved in community projects
from Habitat for Humanity to the many benefit walks and
marathons throughout the communities of Boyd and
Greenup counties. The members of the AAYPA join the
organization because they care about the area in which
they live.

Members of the AAYPA fill hundreds of backpacks for children
in need of school supplies in Boyd and Greenup counties.
In 2004, AAYPA decided to make one project its hallmark:
Backpacks for Kids. Working with area schools, AAYPA
compiles a list of children needing assistance for back to
school necessities and utilizes individual community
volunteers who select a child’s list of needs and then
purchase the items on the list for that child. Items include a
backpack, supplies and a new outfit, often together with
shoes. From 400 backpacks filled in 2004 during the first
year, to more than 1,000 filled in 2009, the program
continues to be the pride of the organization.

Ashland area…
From pastimes to playgrounds, recreational opportunities abound in our Boyd
and Greenup county neighborhoods. So, take five, pack up the kids, and head out
for a laid-back day.
Dubbed the “crown jewel” of the
Ashland Park System, downtown’s 47acre Central Park is a meeting place for
recreationists of all ages. Visitors can
enjoy playgrounds, picnicking, jogging
paths, ice skating, horseshoe pits,
volleyball, tennis, basketball, soccer or
baseball.
Encircled by more than 1,100 trees,
visitors are welcomed to the haven
with its fountains, water lilies, springtime tulips and history.
A horseracing track until August
1923, today’s park allows a glance of
yesteryear, housing Ashland’s first log
home. Celebrating our heritage, three
Indian Mounds are tucked away in a
corner of this peaceful setting.
Music lovers are drawn to Central
Park’s bandstand to listen to
trumpeting brass, bluegrass or string
concertos, while Summer Motion
festivities bring big-name acts, carnival
rides and expos.
The park illuminates during the
holiday season with Ashland’s Winter
Wonderland of Lights Festival including
60 magical displays of more than
750,000 twinkling lights. Neighboring
communities in Boyd and Greenup
counties decorate their homes and
businesses – illuminating the area
collaboratively.
Alongside the mighty Ohio, Ashland’s
15th Street Riverfront Park – with its
multi-hued murals – is home to one of
the largest national fireworks displays
and Summer Motion concerts, drawing
approximately 30,000 attendees each
July.
At picturesque Armco Park, with tall
pines and dappled birches, nature lovers
can take to trails or gather for a family
reunion at five shelter houses. Visitors
also can hike to the neighboring Boyd
County War Memorial to pay tribute to
our area’s fallen heroes.
In nearby Flatwoods, Ky., B.F. Crager
Community Park hosts trick-or-treat
nights and a large annual Easter Egg

River Bend or The Oaks Golf Club,
golfers of all skill levels are promised a
challenge.
The Bellefonte Country Club offers a
premier par 70 course and has hosted
the Bluegrass Junior Invitational for
more than 25 years.
Tennis also is a favorite sport among
locals. Here, outstanding tennis juniors
and adult players are hitting aces. The
Ashland Tennis Center is a sprawling
public facility with four indoor and 11
outdoor courts, while the Bellefonte
Country Club offers two lighted
outdoor courts and three indoor
courts for honing forehands.
Diving in and setting anchor
Flanked by the Ohio, Big Sandy and
Little Sandy rivers, area residents spend
their springs and summers taking to our
pristine lakes, streams and creeks for
waterskiing, motor boating, largemouth
bass fishing, canoeing, and diving.
Anglers can set-in at boat ramps
for catfish, trout and crappie fishing
conquests. On the way, they can stop at
covered bridges spanning the Little
Sandy River at Greenup County’s
Oldtown, Hopewell and Bennett’s Mill.
Greenbo Lake State Resort Park, just
south of Greenup, Ky., takes visitors
back to a quieter time, full of Kentucky
splendor. The 36-room fieldstone lodge,
named in honor of native poet laureate
Jesse Stuart, overlooks Greenbo Lake
and its marina. A copper-hooded lobby
fireplace warms guests.
Greenbo’s community swimming
pool is perfect for little waders while
