Burnside Mayor Robert Lawson Burnside Mayor Robert Lawson has been elected to chair the Lake Cumberland Area Development District (ADD) Board of Directors for 2021. Lawson has served on the board since he first took office in 2017, since all judge-executives and mayors from the district's 10 counties -- Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor and Wayne -- are automatically named in addition to 20 citizens that also serve from those counties. "It's an honor and a way to serve our 10-county region," Mayor Lawson said of chairing the board. "The ADD office does so much for cities and counties -- helping to find grants and assisting us with the infrastructure needs we have. They play a huge role."
