Welcome BG is the city’s initiative to develop and promote Bowling Green as a safe, welcoming and inclusive community for everyone including immigrants, new Americans and people of diverse backgrounds. We embrace that immigrants create a vibrant culture in our community, making our neighborhoods stronger where we can all thrive. In addition to bringing cultural diversity, immigrants contribute to economic growth and bring new innovation to Bowling Green at the time where our region is in critical need of both skilled and non-skilled workers.
