A Big Bold Future for Kentucky

By Susan Perkins Weston | December 8, 2022

In 2020, the Prichard Committee urged all Kentuckians to join the work of creating a Big Bold Future for our Commonwealth. To frame that work, we identified twelve indicators. Together, these data points let us:

  • Compare our work to other states
  • Analyze trends over the years
  • See results for Kentuckians of varied backgrounds and ages
  • Find cause for celebration
  • Recognize areas of concern

In 2022, returning to those indicators, we see some bright spots.

Bluntly, we also see shadows. Many indicators warrant our concern. Our effort to build a Big Bold Future are struggling.

Our 2022 reporting confirms the need for renewed and expanded efforts.

Let’s look at the data and then consider how to engage the challenges.
