Gov. Andy Beshear announced the creation of more than 1,200 jobs and $291.8 million in investments by businesses across Kentucky during the last full week of the month.
“Companies across the country and around the world have recognized what we’ve known all along – that Kentucky is the place to be,” said Gov. Beshear. “We’ve already broken every record in the books for economic development, but the news we’ve announced this month – just this week even – is further proof that we are just getting started.”
2021 saw Kentucky shatter every economic development record in the books with $11.2 billion in investments announced for private-sector new-location and expansion projects and commitments to create more than 18,000 full-time jobs in coming years.
