Lee County

For years southern and eastern Kentucky has been plagued by straight pipes, inadequate septic systems and contaminated drinking water.  Sensing the need, Rogers has been diligent in securing funding for Beattyville and beyond to expand their sewer and water line infrastructure which helps the environment, is important for economic development and essential for clean drinking water.

As a former Commonwealth Attorney, Rogers has long been an advocate on behalf of local law enforcement and improving public safety. Funded through the USDA Rural Development program, Rogers has supported the City of Beattyville and Lee County in obtaining new police cruisers to improve emergency response times, protect officers, and give county residents peace of mind. Lee County police officers also work with Operation UNITE to curb drug trafficking and end drug-related crimes.

Kentucky’s fifth district has a reputation for a strong, vibrant workforce, low energy costs, and a meaningful quality of life. For decades, Rogers has endeavored to open up Lee County and the entire region to federal business and service opportunities, chiefly through coordination with the non-profit, Southeast Kentucky Economic Development Corporation. These efforts have resulted in successfully assisting forward-leaning companies operate in Beattyville.
