Lieutenant Governor Certifies Two 'Build-Ready' Sites in Warren County

Lisa Autry

Kentucky’s newly-appointed lieutenant governor was in Warren County Tuesday to certify two locations in the Kentucky Transpark as Build-Ready sites. 

Crit Luallen said the designation means Warren County has an extra advantage in the competitive hunt for new jobs.

"The whole concept is to give site selectors who are looking for a place to invest and create jobs a ready-to-go location, one for which the preparation work has already been completed, the legal and zoning obstacles have been removed, and the red tape has already been cut," Luallen explained.

Governor Beshear announced the state’s first Build-Ready site last month in Henderson. 

While in Bowling Green, Luallen praised Warren County for having the state’s lowest unemployment rate at 4.8%, according to the latest figures.
