It is a regional project with support from Henderson, McLean, Union and Webster counties.
“Our state’s Build-Ready program has grown significantly over the last several years, and I’m excited to see that momentum continue in Henderson County as we announce the largest Build-Ready site in the commonwealth,” said Gov. Beshear. “One of the biggest draws to Kentucky for growing companies is our commitment to site development, and a collaboration like this in Western Kentucky is a prime example of what makes Team Kentucky great. I want to congratulate Henderson County on its new Build-Ready site and look forward to what new investment and job creation it will bring to Kentucky.”
According to a release, the site includes over 100 acres zoned for heavy industrial use. Utilities include a four-inch gas line, 10-inch sewer line and 18-inch waterline. The property includes electric service provided by Kenergy Corp. and natural gas provided by Atmos Energy Corp. and Texas Gas Transmission Corp.
The site is also serviced with fiber for telecommunications.

As for the Aggies, the only name on the report is Mackenzie Mgbako, a one-time Kentucky target who remains out for the season after undergoing foot surgery.

Kentucky vs. Texas A&M Injury Report
COVINGTON, Ky. (WKRC) – The Licking River Bridge was demolished Monday morning in a controlled blast, clearing the way for a replacement structure.
Authorities established a 1,000-foot safety perimeter, closed nearby roads and asked residents to shelter in place before the demolition. The bridge collapsed within seconds of the blast.
“Today we say goodbye to a bridge that has served Kentuckians for nearly a century and we make room for something new. A signature bridge that is safer, stronger and we make room for something new,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “This region, like the rest of the commonwealth, is evolving, it is booming, it’s economy growing every day. What we’re doing together is building our new Kentucky home.”
