Madisonville, Kentucky, a city with a rich heritage and an even more promising future! 
Founded in 1807 and named for James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, this city has grown to be the home for over 19,000 people. Madisonville is located in the heart of Western Kentucky (49 miles south of Evansville, Indiana; 104 miles northwest of Nashville, Tennessee; and 153 miles southwest of Louisville, Kentucky) making this community attractive for economic development opportunities and weekend visitors. The town is served directly by the Pennyrile Parkway, US Hwy 41 and 41A, and Kentucky Highways 70 and 85, making us easily accessible to all travelers. Madisonville is the county seat of Hopkins County and is a community with a small town atmosphere but with all the amenities of a much larger city. A stroll through downtown revives memories of days past with restored historical buildings from the 1800's and streets adorned with old-fashioned lamp-lighting and brick sidewalks. The scenic downtown area boasts of antique shops and inviting eateries. For a more natural setting, visit our 262-acre City Park to take a walk on the nature trail, play a round of golf, or ponder your thoughts on The Serenity Path.

KY EXCEL's objectives are simple. KY EXCEL wishes to encourage individuals, organizations, and businesses to complete voluntary projects that improve Kentucky's environment. In addition, KY EXCEL desires to facilitate a process that allows participants to increase their environmental commitment, thus reducing their environmental footprint. The backbone of KY EXCEL is the completion of voluntary environmental projects. Each member is required to conduct one or more projects each year, depending on the participant's membership level. The department provides members with incentives that recognize and encourage their participation. These incentives include public recognition, networking opportunities and enhanced agency services.
Partner Level
The partner level was established for entities regulated by the department interested in taking the beginning steps of performing voluntary projects and enhancing their organization’s environmental performance. The partner level gives regulated entities an excellent opportunity to try out KY EXCEL and see how it can benefit their organization.
To become a KY EXCEL partner member, applicants must:
- Commit to and complete at least one voluntary environmental project during each year that they are members.
- Develop or produce an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for their organization.
- Conduct a performance assessment (the results of this assessment do not need to be provided to the Division of Compliance Assistance).
- Submit an annual report that describes the organization’s efforts and successes associated with the completion of their voluntary environmental project.
Partner memberships are good for three years and can be renewed at the end of the membership. www.kyexcel.ky.gov
