Kentuckians can vote for their favorite project on KentuckyLiving.com September 6 – 17. Beautify the Bluegrass winners will be announced on KentuckyLiving.com on September 27.

“Again this year, Kentuckians have inspired us with their projects,” said Governor Beshear. “And a special shout out to the local electric cooperatives who have led the way. When we say “Team Kentucky,” this is what we’re talking about, Kentuckians who care about their communities and take action to help.”
