The story

The concept of area development districts within the state of Kentucky was first visualized by Governor Bert T. Combs in 1961. By 1967, the state was divided into 15 districts. BSADD received designation and funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration in 1968. On February 10, 1972, the BSADD, along with the other 14 development districts, were established by the Kentucky General Assembly.
