leadership added an additional barrier to systemic reform. The
growing popularity of ecotourism and heritage tourism, on the other
hand, contained the potential for building an alternative At least
115 million Americans lived within a days driving distance of
Appalachia. During the last two decades of the twentieth century,
the number of coal mining jobs throughout all of Appalachia
declined by 70 percent, falling from 59,000 to 46,000 Miners.

Write an compelling email Dear Julie, Thank you very much for
meeting with us last week. I apologize for not getting back to you
earlier. My team and I have been busy in the last couple of days
trying to meet with people and gathering information in the
exploration of a network of interconnecting multi-county trails
that will connect Eastern Kentucky communities, state parks,
federal recreational properties, and forest lands, that, in the
end, will create additional jobs and stimulate economic growth and
development through heritage and adventure tourism related
opportunities. We wanted to see you on Monday, but we only had your
cell phone number at the Adult Learning Center and was not the day
for your time in Campton. We met with Dennis Brook and Steve
Johnson on Monday, and Dave Terrell today. In general, they seem
supportive of the Trail Town discussions. In the conversation with
Dave today, we heard from Dave that he would be willing to talk to
the private land owner who holds the last missing piece of the
proposed trail. We discovered in conversations in Letcher County
that K.R.S. 411.190 is the law that protects land owners. Are you
interested in going with him? We discussed tonight in our All Hands
Meeting that the Trail Town plans here in Eastern Kentucky have
received a lot of support in Letcher, Owsley, Knott, Leslie, Perry,
Breathitt and Lee Counties recently. Judge Dennis Brooks and Mayor
Gay Campbell appear positively inclined. We plan to be in Eastern
Kentucky through the end of this week. On Thursday we travel to
Prestonsburg to attend the SOAR Conference listening sessions. On
Friday we will be in Lee County testing the Zip Line as adventure
tourists and travelers. Next week we meet with the Executive Judge
of Madison County to advocate for a Trail Town application in Berea
on Monday. Tuesday we train the Hal Rogers Scholars at Alice Lloyd
College. We return to Hazard on Wednesday and plan to spend the
last three days of the week in Lee and Wolfe Counties. If we can be
of any further assistance to you as you prepared for the Tourism
Commission meeting on July 2, please feel free to let us know.
Thank you very much. I am looking forward to seeing from you.
