Jefferson County Chapter Policy Updates!

The Jeff. County policy committee is making great progress planning the strategy and tactics for our upcoming campaigns! Our buy local ordinance has the potential to impact various county departments and will benefit our KY farmers in a great way. The CFA corner store incentive program also impacts the purchase of local food by giving corner store owners 20% back on yearly food purchases totaling up to $7,500. Both ordinances will be presented for passage in April 2009. If you want to be involved in making change in Jefferson County that positively affects both urban residents and our KY farmers, please contact the Louisville office at 502-775-4041 or email SteVon at stevoncfa@bellsouth.net. You can also make a request to view the minutes from our past meetings. The committee meets the fourth Tuesday of every month @ 6:30pm in the Louisville office. It takes each one to make it all happen!
