Gov. Beshear recognized two exciting economic development projects that will help Kentucky continue to sprint out of the pandemic.

The Governor announced that nine tech-based businesses will receive a total of $900,000 in state funds through the commonwealth's nationally recognized Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Matching Funds Program, which supports high-paying jobs and tech development in Kentucky. The matching grants will complement $4.77 million in federal SBIR/STTR funding the businesses will collectively receive. For more information, see the full release.

Additionally, third-party logistics provider Conner Logistics Inc. plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from California to Kentucky with an initial investment of $1.3 million.
