Governor approves grant for Henderson site
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Thursday the approval of a Kentucky Product Development Initiative grant to complete the due diligence of a Henderson site.
The approximately 60-acre site is located on the 425 Bypass. The project involves completing the due diligence on the site, making it more desirable for potential new industries looking to locate in Henderson. Completion of this project will be the first step in ensuring this site is ready for future industrial development, said a Henderson Economic Development release.
The KDPI, housed under the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, funds up to $2 million per county per project site upgrades and infrastructure projects.
“HED’s forward thinking in participating in this program will continue to make Henderson one of the best places in Western Kentucky to locate a new industry,” said state Sen. Robby Mills.
“This new project ensures the adjacent 60 acres will be positioned to keep Henderson competitive and ready for the next site selection opportunity,” said HED Executive Director Missy Vanderpool. “We are truly grateful to our legislators for funding this program, and for the City of Henderson and Henderson Water Utility for their partnership in making this project possible.”
