CleanKentucky^SM

Helping our members balance sustainable growth with the environment and their communities.

Kentucky manufacturers want to grow and be profitable in the global economy, but not at the expense of Kentucky’s environment. That’s why we created CleanKentucky^SM, an initiative designed to help manufacturers comply with air water and waste regulations, practice good environmental stewardship and do it all in harmony with their communities.

KAM’s lobbying team is led by Jim LeMaster, President & CEO, Kentucky Association of Manufacturers. Lemaster is uniquely suited to address the needs of Kentucky's environment and is ready to work with KAM’s members and partners to lead KAM’s CleanKentucky^SM initiative and do something substantial to help keep Kentucky’s environment clean for future generations.

CleanKentucky^SM helps our members balance sustainable growth with the environment and their communities.

• Environment – Educate manufacturers on current compliance rules and regulations and address environmental issues through KAM’s Chemical Industry Council.
  
• Support environmental programs that are based on sound science, consider cost-benefit relationships, and consider technical and economic feasibility.
• Support creation of incentives for voluntarily remediating and restoring vitality to abandoned, idled, and contaminated property (“Brownfields”)
