Economic Development Institute Gets The WKU Institute for Economic

Development and Public Service has been awarded a $100,000 grant from the Small Business Administration to fund a retiree attraction project for southcentral Kentucky.

Targeting the 55+ migrating retiree, the Institute will begin an extensive marketing campaign to attract this fast-growing segment of the country's population to the sou thcentral Kentucky region, said Dr. Stephen House, executive direc­tor of the Institute. The region in­cludes Allen, Barren, Edmonson, Hart, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Ohio, Simpson and Warren counties.

"This will allow us to promote southcentral Kentucky in the major metropolitan areas," Dr. House said. 'The demographics show there are increasing numbers of very talented and very well educated people leaving those metropolitan areas and looking for smaller, more rural areas in which to spend their retirement years."

Research shows the 55+ market is represented by more than 64 million people and growing rapidly. The migrating retiree has an average net worth of $2.50,000 which is the high­est net worth of all retirees. More than 90 percent of retirees relocate into homes in established neighbor­hoods and tend to pay cash, deposit­ing the balance in local banks.

"As we begin this process, I believe there will be almost an immediate impact in terms of the number of visitors to our area, thereby benefiting motels, restau­rants, service stations and many others who provide products and services to those visiting the area," Dr. House said.

Over an extended period, the effort will result in new perma­nent residents to the area and the increased business activity will expand to real estate finns, home builders, banks, churches and many others who benefit from an expanded population base, Dr. House said.

In addition, an up turn in new business start ups is antiCipated, as many of the retirees who bring knowledge and business experi­ence from other regions of the country will take advantage of new opportunities in a growing market, he said.

The grant was announced by U.s. Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.

On Campus Western Kentucky UniveI>ity April 13, 1994

The Robert Penn Warren Ubrary in the Kentucky building houses the Pulitzer Prize winner's private book collection and displays his desk and chair, a cabinet in which he kept first editions and exhibits of his photographs and medals. In pre· santing the collection to the university two years ago, Warren's wife, Eleanor Clark, said she wanted scholars to have access to the items because of their "intimate working importance" to Warren.

Kentucky Library staff have worked to complete the housing at the collection of 2,246 volumes, which include a number of 17th to 19th century publications. Most of the coliection, however, consists of first editions of Warren's works, autographed gift copies from his friends and colleagues, and the volumes he acquired for reference and reading.

Some contain marginal notations penciled by Warren ; a 1936 Italian edition of Dante's Divine Comedy bears annota­tions by Warren and his daughter, Rosanna.

Offering much of the ambiance in which the novelist-poet created many of his literary masterpieces, the Robert Penn Warren Ubrary welcomes use by students and scholars.

Teacher, novelist, poet, essayist, dramatist, literary critic and editor. Warren based many of his writing on historical happen­ings. Those with Kentucky significance include: Night Bider. 1939; World Enough and Time. 1950; Brother to Dragons. 1953; and Audubon: A Vision, 1969.

In his lifetime, he published ten novels, ten volumes of poetry and a volame of short stories; also a play, a collection of critical essays, a biography, three historical essays, a critical book on Dreiser and a study of Melville and two studies of race relations in America.

His 1946 novel, All the King's Men. won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Warren was named America's Poet Laureate in 1986. He died in 1989.

Right: The Wedge by William Carlos Will iams, a gift to Warren from the author, is one of more than 2,000 volumes in the WKU Warren Library.

When Kentucky had to compete against other states for the new Toyota Camry plant, a key factor that moved the plant to the Bluegrass was the promised state-of-the-art Center for RoOOtics and Manufacturing Systems located nearby at the University of Kentucky.

Winning the 'Ibyota plant was a shining example of how investing in higher education pays offfor all Kentuckians. Each Kentucky university can claim similar StlW.!SSeS in Juring agricul­ture, chemical, engineering, hea1th care, telecommunications and other industries into our state. With those new businesses come thousands of new jobs for ourselves and for our children. .

If Kentucky and its citizens are to continue sucoaeding in the 21st century, it's critical we maintain the economic momentum created by our ooileges and universities. Don't let Kentucky's economic engine run out offuel. Support higher education: an investment in KentuckYs future.
