Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky once again has secured its place in the top five for economic development projects per capita as Site Selection magazine posted its 2025 Governor’s Cup rankings. The commonwealth has held a top-five ranking during all six years of the Beshear administration.

Beshear. “We are laying the foundation for long-term success in our communities, and companies are recognizing the advantages and potential of locating and doing business right here in their New Kentucky Home.
