Upper Cumberland Development District honors Subcommittee Chairman
(NASHVILLE) — This week, State Representative Kelly Keisling (R–Byrdstown) was named State Representative of the Year by the Upper Cumberland Development District (UCDD) during an official ceremony held at the Doubletree Hotel in downtown Nashville.
Chairman Keisling was recognized because of his support and advocacy on issues and programs designed to improve the quality of life for residents throughout the Upper Cumberland region.
The Upper Cumberland Development District (UCDD) was created by the Tennessee General Assembly to provide regional planning and assistance to the following counties: Cannon, Clay, Cumberland, DeKalb, Fentress, Jackson, Macon, Overton, Pickett, Putnam, Smith, Van Buren, Warren, and White. Supporters agree that the fourteen counties, along with the many municipalities contained within, are made stronger through regional cooperation and shared resources.
“I am grateful for the partnership between our General Assembly and the UCDD,” said Chairman Keisling. “This remarkable organization has made an extraordinary impact on our communities. It is a great honor to receive this award, and the opportunity to serve our region is a tremendous privilege. Together, I know our efforts will enable the Upper Cumberland and all of Tennessee to continue to thrive.”
