In a move to assure Kentucky realizes its full potential to leverage these opportunities, the Kentucky General Assembly passed House Joint Resolution 100 (HJR100) in 2015. The resolution directed the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs (KCMA), the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC), the Kentucky Aviation Association (KAA), and the Cabinet for Economic Development (CED) to study the economic impact of the overall aerospace/aviation industry in the Commonwealth and to report the findings to the Governor and the Legislative Research Commission (LRC).
