AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Tourism Economy Watch: Logan County visitor spending hit about $19.91 million in 2025, up 0.6%, with food and beverage the biggest draw ($5.85M) and lodging at $3.81M—part of the Caves Region’s steady growth. Summer Weather & Safety: Forecasters warn a “heat dome” could push Kentucky toward triple digits around midweek, with humidity making it feel even hotter. Severe Weather Alert: The tornado threat was upgraded for Friday across Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Missouri, with the highest risk corridor running from St. Louis toward Evansville and Louisville. Music & Community Tourism: Owensboro earned national buzz as Garden & Gun named it among the South’s best live-music destinations, spotlighting Friday After 5 and other local venues. Arts on the Road: The Louisville Orchestra brought free “In Harmony” performances to Glasgow, making orchestral music accessible without a traditional concert trip. Local Travel Planning: Northern Kentucky Regional Trails Plan aims to connect hikers and bikers across Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties. Visitor Tips: Barkley Regional Airport is warning travelers about online relationship scams targeting people for “ticket” and “travel expense” money. New Distillery for Visitors: Country Boy Brewing plans Country Boy Distilling in Sadieville, with tours and a tasting room planned for this fall.
