Irvine needs young enterpreneurs with the capital and business acumen to provide the goods, services and jobs that Estill Countians need.We need to do a better job keeping the Estill County High School graduates from leaving our town for other towns. The brain drain from our community is absurd. Think of the Estill Countians living in neighboring counties and paying their taxes and shopping there instead of here. Something is wrong.
Estill County needs growth. We need young people with the vision and determination to stay here and make this place better! Stop the migration to Richmond, Lexington, Georgetown and elsewhere. We need to keep our better and brighter ones from leaving town.
Many of the businessmen in Irvine are elderly and slowly dying out. If they can't provide services, then we need out of town people who will invest businesses in our town. I fear that many enterpreneurs have lost confidence in the Estill County market. We have a large work force and people from neighboring towns would help fill up the jobs if needed.
We need some Future Business Leaders who want to stay here and make Estill COunty better instead of leaving for greener pasture.
I don't understand why some locals want to get out of Estill County when they can live here and work in the Bluegrass towns. I think the image and prestige of the county is one reason people leave here.
