                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 11, 2024

  Mr. GUTHRIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Kim Huston on her 
retirement from nearly 30 years of working in local economic 
development in Nelson County.
  As President of the Nelson County Economic Development Agency and 
Bardstown Industrial Development Corporation, Kim has been a tireless 
advocate for Nelson County and ensuring their economic success. During 
her time in economic development she has overseen more than 
$1,500,000,000 in investments in her area and made sure Nelson County 
had a seat at the table in a global economy by building relationships 
with business leaders worldwide.
  Kim has been a champion for making Nelson County a global tourist 
destination. Alongside keeping Bardstown the Bourbon Capital of the 
World, she oversaw the city being named the most Beautiful Small Town 
in America by USA Today and Rand McNally in 2012. Her passion for 
Nelson County is felt by everyone who has met her and she captured that 
passion by proudly authoring three books about her hometown.
  I want to thank Kim for her work in Nelson County and wish her a 
happy retirement as she spends more time with her family.
