A local woman is among Governor Andy Beshear’s appointments to state boards and commissions this week.
Governor Beshear announced Friday that Amanda Davenport — the executive director of the Lake Barkley Partnership for Economic Development — has been appointed to the Water Transportation Advisory Board to serve a term to expire on December 27, 2026. She will replace Joseph Crabtree, whose term has expired.
Among the duties of the Water Transportation Advisory Board are to advise the Transportation Cabinet, the Cabinet for Economic Development, the Governor’s Office and the General Assembly on matters relating to water transportation and to recommend action to enable the Commonwealth to make the best use of its waterways and riverports for future economic growth.
