Through a partnership with KentuckyUnited, GO-EDC recently participated in a marketing mission to Michigan and Canada. The EDC joined with approximately 20 economic development professionals from throughout the Commonwealth and the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development to meet with site selectors and prospective companies in the Greater Detroit area, other parts of Michigan, northern Ohio, and Canada about the opportunities available in Kentucky, especially in the automotive parts supplier industry.
This is the first Marketing Mission KentuckyUnited has sponsored in the Greater Detroit area. The visits to over 35 companies and site selectors have increased the awareness of the state and given the EDC an opportunity to tell decision makers about Kentucky’s new incentive programs.
The meetings may result in several potential projects, some of which have a direct interest in Owensboro.
Over the next few weeks, GO-EDC will conduct further follow up marketing to these prospective companies and consultants.
Owensboro has a great story to tell and the EDC is committed to getting the word out to businesses on the opportunities available in this region!
