94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Kentucky has once again been recognized for its “economic growth and future preparedness.”
The commonwealth was recently ranked eighth in Site Selection magazine’s 2025 Global Groundwork Index, a ranking based on capital investment and jobs announcements along with infrastructure funding data.
According to a release from the Cabinet for Economic Development, this is the fourth straight year the commonwealth has placed in the top 10 of the Global Groundwork Index. Kentucky was also listed among top regional hotspots for potential investment, and received a B- grade for energy infrastructure, which places it behind only two other states.
Governor Andy Beshear said in the release: “What this national ranking shows is that we are also taking the necessary steps to prepare for future opportunities. The infrastructure is in place, the workforce is ready to meet any challenge, and Kentucky is ready for the businesses of tomorrow.”
Site Selection magazine earlier this year ranked Kentucky in the top five nationally and second in the South Central Region for economic development projects per capita. Kentucky was also ranked sixth nationally in the magazine’s Prosperity Cup rankings, which recognizes state-level economic development agencies for their success in landing capital investment projects.
