In the Spotlight: Andy Beshear
Morning, friends! Logan here. Today, we’re excited to release our episode with Andy Beshear, the Governor of Kentucky.
Man, that feels really cool to say…
In case you haven’t noticed, Kentucky has been on an economic development roll lately. Since taking office, Governor Andy Beshear has helped secure over $35 billion in private sector investment - more than any other governor in Kentucky’s history.
What We Discussed:
Kentucky’s Economic Wins – How the state is attracting major investments from companies like Ford, SK, and AESC.
The Role of Innovation & Startups – What’s going well & what could improve when it comes to our state’s innovation and startup ecosystems.
Next-Generation Energy – Kentucky’s role in battery manufacturing, legislation in the works to support nuclear energy development, and demand for sustainable power solutions.
What’s Next for Kentucky’s Workforce & Business Climate – How the state is preparing for the next decade of growth.
Also, as I mention in this episode, we recorded this conversation before the devastating floods hit Eastern Kentucky. If you’re able, we’d ask that you please consider support the flood relief efforts, if you haven’t already.
You can donate to Kentucky Storm Relief Fund here.
You can support New Frontier’s Kentucky Strong Program here.
You can find more resources regarding flood relief here.
That’s all we’ve got for you this week! Thanks for reading. Don’t forget to forward if you enjoyed this one!
