24. Gina Greathouse on Economic Development in Lexington and How Commerce Lexington is Building Central Kentucky's Business Community

Gina Greathouse has been involved in economic development for more than 30 years, beginning with state government and with Commerce Lexington since 1995. As the executive vice president for economic development with Commerce Lexington, Greathouse and her team help promote Lexington as great place to do business, advocate for favorable public policy, and serve as an intermediary for the city and the local business community. Plain and simple, Gina’s (and Commerce Lex as an organization’s) goal is to encourage new job growth and better opportunities for the citizens living in the Bluegrass. On this episode, we discuss some of the stories behind some incredible businesses in the Bluegrass, the role of Commerce Lexington, and the future of Lexington and the selling points of the city to get there.
