Site Selection magazine recently ranked Kentucky the top state for economic development projects per capita last year. 

Wednesday, Governor Steve Beshear brought the Governor’s Cup trophy to Bowling Green to celebrate the region’s contributions to the award.

"Bowling Green and Warren County has been one of the brightest spots in Kentucky over this last eight years that I've been governor and it just continues to grow," Beshear told WKU Public Radio.

Site Selection ranked Bowling Green 4th in the magazine’s “Top 10 Metro Areas of 2014” for new and expanded facilities among metropolitan areas with populations less than 200,000. 

Glasgow ranked among the nation’s top micropolitan areas for business creation. 

Beshear said the rankings are a testament to how far the state has come since the Great Recession.
