A citizen’s member through Caldwell County for some time, Amanda Davenport was unanimously accepted as a board member to the Pennyrile Area Development District this past Monday.
The Lake Barkley Partnership Executive Director since May 2018, Davenport was introduced to the floor by Trigg County Judge-Executive and PADD Chairman Hollis Alexander.
Davenport steps in, following the resignation of David Williams due to health reasons.
Following a bachelor’s degree at Murray State University and a master’s degree at Texas Woman’s University, Davenport was an administrative assistant for Denton County, Texas and a director of economic development for Point Pilot, Texas before becoming the LBP executive director.
According to thinkrural.com, the Lake Barkley Partnership has more than 1,000 acres of available land prepared for development — with industrial sites accessible by I-24, I-69, the Eddyville Riverport on Lake Barkley, and regional airports in Caldwell and Crittenden counties.
Davenport serves a diverse economic region that also includes Livingston and Lyon counties.
