BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Great news for future small business owners in Bowling Green.

Monday, legislators signed off on the biennial state budget to appropriate funds for the operation of state government and to benefit our local communities.

Included in the two year budget plan is $600,000 in funding which will go to the Housing Authority of Bowling Green.

The organization will use the funds to support low-income, minority and women-owned businesses who need a financial boost to get their business off the ground.
