DISCUSSION
Communications Manager Pam Spencer provided the following summary:
Remote Workers Incentive Program
One of the Paducah Board of Commissioners'priority action items is the development of a
remote workers incentive program. Business Development Specialist Kathryn Byers provided
an overview of a proposed program with a goal of attracting to Paducah approximately 40
full-time remote workers from 100 miles or more outside Paducah by offering the following
incentives:
• Relocation expenses
• Internet access
• Community connections through tickets to cultural amenities, memberships to professional
networks, a membership at Sprocket, and classes at local higher education institutes
• City of Paducah payroll tax waiver for a 12 -month period
June 22, 2021
The City has allocated $100, 000 for the incentives and marketing with the goal to reach
workers in the following cities: Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina;
Chicago, Illinois; Houston, Texas; and Louisville, Kentucky. The plan is to present a final
draft of the proposed incentives in July and implement the program in August.
Plan to Repurpose Robert Cherry Civic Center
The Paducah Board of Commissioners discussed the future of the Robert Cherry Civic
Center located at 2701 Park Avenue. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the City closed the
facility more than a year ago. Since that time, Mayor Bray says the City has been looking at
repurposing the Civic Center since the facility operates at an annual loss of more than
$35, 000. On a related note, the Parks and Recreation Department and the Senior Center are
in a building on H. C. Mathis Drive that is expensive to maintain with utility costs around
$100, 000 per year. As a solution, the City is looking at renovating the Civic Center to
provide office space for the Parks Department and a banquet hall for the public. Mayor Bray
emphasized that this is a decision of economics. The next step is to receive a cost estimate
for proposed Civic Center renovations. The Senior Center is also reviewing other buildings
that would be more economical for its operations.
