Muhlenberg County is in the process of refocusing its economic development efforts to become an energetic and progressive entity that will evolve into a more competitive organization. The creation of Muhlenberg Alliance of Progress will become our focal point in recruiting new endeavors, supporting our existing industries and promoting an environment to create an entrepreneurial spirit within Muhlenberg County. In the near future MAP looks forward to creating a marketing and management tool that promotes Muhlenberg County onto the global marketplace. The development of this organization is ongoing and the development of a website will soon be initiated that will be the beginning of our marketing phase to improve the economy of Muhlenberg County and this region. It is MAP's initiative to create alliances within the region to grow our economy and promote our citizens for a brighter and better furture for Muhlenberg County.

Muhlenberg County is part of two regional business parks. Paradise Regional Business Park is a five-county initiative with Muhlenberg, Daviess, Hopkins, McLean and Ohio Counties to provide quality, shovel ready industrial property for development. It consists of 375 acres of developed industrial land that contains an access road, water, sewer, electricity and telecommunications in place on the site. This initiative, in partnership with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, is to provide fully developed sites that allow the Paradise Regional Business Park region the ability to compete for industrial prospects that are interested in locating in parks that are fully developed and large enough to cater to their needs. The location of Paradise Regional Business Park provides excellent access to any prospect's transportation, manufacturing or service needs to compete on a global scale, in an ever-changing marketplace.
