Jeff shares how the Kentucky Product Development Initiative (KPDI), a program that secured a $100 million expansion, has fundamentally changed the landscape, driving regional collaboration and attracting nearly $5 billion in capital investment. He highlights the successful development of the Rock Castle Mega site and the recruitment of companies like Chapin International as proof of this collaborative, site-ready approach.

The discussion emphasizes the power of regional partnerships and Jeff's focus on removing development barriers, leveraging Kentucky's strategic location and workforce to create jobs. They conclude that a commitment to proactive site development is delivering generational opportunities and positioning the entire region for substantial, sustained growth.
