Martin County

Protecting homes and businesses from the devastating effect of flooding has been a key focal point for Rogers. He has secured essential infrastructure funds for flood control projects along the Tug and Levisa Forks of the Big Sandy. These efforts attract businesses and encourage economic development, while giving families the peace of mind that they are safe in their homes.  

Economic development is key to moving southern and eastern Kentucky forward and that is why Rogers helped bring jobs to Martin County by supporting the location of a federal prison in the Big Sandy region. Rogers was also instrumental in securing funding for the KY 645 “Fly-over Bridge” project in Inez.   This extension of KY3 relieves congestion, spurs job growth, and makes important safety improvements.

The health and wellbeing of individuals, families and seniors in southern and eastern Kentucky is a priority for Rogers. As such, he secured federal funds for the Roy F. Collier Community Center in Inez and the Martin County Health Initiative so individuals have a resource for wellness and prevention.  Together, the community center and health initiative are raising awareness and providing a good opportunity to raise healthy families.
