Many business executives will tell you that speed to market trumps costs as a #siteselection differentiator. No state has done more to expedite speed to market for expanding companies than Kentucky. From Pratt Industries in Henderson to Phillips Tank & Structure in Columbia, corporate facility investment deals are occurring around the Bluegrass State because Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development are removing barriers to entry at a rapid rate. #economicdevelopment Heather Spoon Kristina Slattery Brad Thomas Rebecca W Goodman Site Selection Magazine Conway Data, Inc.
