Bowling Green, KY, October 2, 2026 —
Barren County has initiated the “CPR Works Initiative,” a new program aimed at assisting individuals in recovery from addiction by addressing common employment barriers. The initiative is made possible through funding from a grant provided by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
