“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Jay Matheny for being elected chairman of the Barkley Regional Airport Authority Board. Mr. Matheny will oversee the ongoing construction work for the new terminal for the airport, which he has already been closely involved with. The project has been called the airport for our future, and I believe that Mr. Matheny is the right person to see this project through to its scheduled completion in 2023. Due to west Kentucky's proximity to the other major airports of St. Louis, Louisville, and Nashville, this terminal will attract more flights and bring numerous economic opportunities to the region. I am proud of the multiple entities that have worked together from the city, State, and Federal levels to get this project underway. Congratulations, once again, to Mr. Matheny for being chosen as chairman. I look forward to the completion of this airport terminal and the economic growth it will provide for Paducah and west Kentucky. {time} 1600 Honoring Gary Jones of Muhlenberg County”
