To say it has been an eventful year is an understatement. While we’ve faced the specter of a government shutdown before, the duration of this one placed considerable stress on thousands of Fort Knox families (military and civilian) and our entire community.

What struck us, though, was how this community answered the call to serve those who serve our nation. As was mentioned earlier in the newsletter, there were countless examples — large and small — of how people lent a hand, made donations, and cared for one another. In the face of adversity, we were reminded how special it is to call the Greater Fort Knox Region home and for that we are most thankful.

 

So, as we close out 2025 and look ahead to 2026, the Knox Regional Development Alliance looks forward to continuing its work to promote and protect Fort Knox. The installation and its missions are critical to our national security and its economic impact on our region cannot be overstated.  We wish you all the best this holiday season and ask you to remember our deployed service men and women and their families who won’t get to celebrate the season together.
