Northern
Kentucky has generated lots of economic announcements in the past
year--business expansions here, job expansions there--and the momentum
continues into this year. Much of the growth is thanks to a wealth of
resources such as available land, a well-trained workforce and nearby
transportation, including the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International
Airport and DHL.
The
economic development organization for Boone, Kenton and Campbell
Counties, Northern Kentucky Tri-ED, attracts about 22 new projects a
year. Senior Vice President Karen Finan said last year there were 24
that generated $300 million in capital investment and thousands of
jobs. She's projecting another signature year for the region.
"Right
now, we have ten projects that we have announced; we have over 500 jobs
that have been created and over $80 million in capital investment,"
said Finan. "The first half of this year has been very strong, in part,
because of the pipeline we have established in attracting and creating
that awareness about Northern Kentucky." More here.
