Report looks at progress, future of NKY shared services

A new report is celebrating the shared government service successes already achieved by regional municipalities, and it's encouraging more.

Titled "Connecting Communities," the report was produced in collaboration by the Northern Kentucky Area Development District, Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and Vision 2015. It looks at the eight most northern counties of Kentucky: Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Kenton, Owen and Pendleton. It highlights what communities in those counties already have done. (Grant County provides police services to the city of Crittenden, for example.)

The report's call to action? 

"Collaboration has clearly helped Northern Kentucky to achieve progress. In these increasingly challenging times, it will be important to seek even more opportunities for collaboration."
