Proud of Paducah
The Mayor and City Commission are proud of all the wonderful projects going on in Paducah-McCracken County. Some of the projects in the list below received direct assistance or incentives from the City of Paducah; however, many of the projects are independent of City or County government. They are spearheaded by forward-thinking boards and community members who want the best for this region and their community. The list is not all-inclusive and will be updated often.
The Mayor and City Commission are excited about the construction jobs, industrial jobs, and the educational opportunities that these projects create. The Mayor and Commission will continue to run the City in such a manner that will create the environment where more economic development activities will happen in the years ahead.
