Gov. Andy Beshear announced more than $5.7 million in state funding to support site and building development across five counties, including Clay. The latest round of funding was approved through the Kentucky Product Development Initiative (KPDI) and, including local matching funds, more than $18 million is being invested across the commonwealth. Site and building development projects in Clay, Garrard, Harrison, Jessamine and Woodford counties are the latest approvals for the second round of the program. To date, Round 2 of the program has seen $27.5 million in state funding approved. The Clay County Fiscal Court, on behalf of the Elk Hill Regional Industrial Authority, will upgrade water infrastructure to the Elk Hill Regional Industrial Park. This is a regional project with support from Clay, Knox and Leslie counties.
