Question: I belong to several civic organizations should they join the Alliance.
Question: Why should I join the RSBA?
Question: Why did RSBA open its membership to small businesses throughout the Region?
REPLY: The Radcliff Small Business Alliance Directors conducted a detail review of its operations and history and found that RSBA has done a good job in promoting our small business community and RSBA has become the voice of the local small business community to local media outlets on stories related to Radcliff and Vine Grove, as well as become the voice of northern Hardin County’s small business community on matters of the regional interest.
Examples include: US Army Listening Session; RSBA leadership against governmental plans to install New Jersey barriers along the length of 31W through Radcliff severely restricting convenient access to businesses along 31W; property tax increase for schools beyond the compensating rate; against the creation of a non-elected taxing authority for the library; against the access restriction to the Patton Museum, and Wilson Road Gate.
Most recently RSBA appealed to the Chief Justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court and head of the Administrator of Courts with regard to the possible closure of the Circuit Court satellite office in Radcliff and the adverse impact on small business owners and all residents in the northern region.
In recognition of these findings, the Board examined how RSBA can be more inclusive of small businesses within the region without fundamentally changing the current organization.
It was determined that RSBA could allow expansion of the small business membership for small businesses within the entire region with little effort. Rules have be adjusted to delete the restriction limiting membership to small businesses located within the boundaries of Radcliff and Vine Grove. Annual membership dues remain the same, though services may be changed for those outside the immediate area. For example, in lieu of on-site events a virtual event using social media may be held.
