FRANKFORT, Ky. (WMDJ) – Gov. Andy Beshear has announced he is taking an economic development trip to further support job growth. Gov. Beshear will travel this week to Germany and Switzerland to meet with leaders at existing Kentucky companies and businesses considering future investment in the United States.
“As we continue to build on our record economic momentum of the past few years, it is critical that we continue to nurture partnerships with our existing employers and also develop new relationships with successful companies around the globe,” Gov. Beshear said. “This visit will provide a valuable opportunity for us to continue to share the message that there is no better place to do business in the United States than right here in the commonwealth.”
Kentucky set a new record as jobs grew by 9,400 in March.
Kentucky has nearly 540 internationally owned operations that employ more than 117,000 people statewide.
