Many of the world’s most successful companies have discovered that Kentucky, land of the thoroughbred, is a great place to build their business.
Kentucky is a richly diverse state. From the flatlands of Western Kentucky to the mountains of the east, from the bright lights of Louisville to the elegant wood fences that line the legendary horse farms around Lexington, Kentucky’s geography offers something for everyone.
The same goes for Kentucky business. Many homegrown companies have become household names around the world – Alltech, KFC, Lexmark, Humana and Ashland among them. Others have adopted Kentucky in a big way, including Amazon.com, Citicorp, GE, Fidelity, Ford, GM and Toyota.
We also put a heavy emphasis on our exciting, steadily growing international business community. Over 800 companies from around the globe feel already home in the Bluegrass State!
Whatever your size, wherever you’re based,
no matter your product or service,
Kentucky makes it easy to do business.
Some of the reasons to locate in Kentucky:
-
We’re in the middle of everything.
Kentucky anchors the Upper South. We’re at the southern end of the Midwest. We’re not far from the East Coast.
The fact is, Kentucky’s borders are within 600 miles – about a day’s drive – of two-thirds of the U.S. population.
That helps when you have to ship a product, meet with a customer, or close a sale.
-
We’re a logistical dream.
Because UPS chose to locate its massive global air hub here, Kentucky businesses get a leg up over those in other states.
The UPS hub means you can get products, papers and packages into the global stream of commerce later in the day – yet they reach their destinations sooner.
Northern Kentucky Airport connects daily with non-stop-flights the Bluegrass State with Europe and all major business destinations worldwide.
And you could ship your goods using our water ways, our extensive rail way systems or excellent highway network.
-
Our energy costs are the lowest in the country.
Year after year, Kentucky’s industries pay one of the lowest rates for electricity of any state in the nation.
-
Our workforce is ready.
As in the past years Expansion Management magazine recently ranked again Kentucky’s workforce training program fifth in the nation.
On top of that, our workforce consistently outperforms the national average for productivity.
-
Our quality of life is high.
Kentucky’s beautiful countryside is the heart and soul of America’s thoroughbred industry. Our music, crafts and fine arts are known around the world.
Kentucky has 24 state recreational parks and 17 state resort parks, more than any other state.
-
Our people are second to none.
The friendly, hard-working people of Kentucky possess an unbridled spirit that might literally boost your bottom line.
-
Our incentives seal the deal.
Still on the fence? Kentucky has some of the most pragmatic financial incentives anywhere, and we can help guide you to the ones that will work best for your company.
-
Our Economic Development staff is smart, experienced and focused on business.
