If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Good
morning,
I
know
with
this
big
crowd,
it's
hard
for
everybody
to
get
seated
in
time
to
start
properly
and
on
time,
but
we're
going
to
give
it
a
shot.
Welcome
to
the
what
is
this?
The
third
meet
third
meeting
of
the
budget
review
subcommittee
on
economic
development,
tourism
and
Environmental
Protection,
we'll,
first
of
all,
if
you
have
cell
phones,
please
mute
them
turn
them
off.
However,
to
keep
it
silent
and
at
this
time
we'll
have
a
roll
call.
Please
Senator,
McGarvey,
Senator,
Schroeder
Senator.
A
A
Present
well,
we
don't
have
enough
for
a
quorum.
So
today
we're
gonna
have
a
discussion
about
the
Kentucky
product
development
initiative
that
was
in
house
bill
one.
So
with
that,
could
the
presenters
please
come
to
the
table.
A
D
D
First
of
all,
I
have
an
opportunity
to
go,
spread,
greetings
and
thanks
to
probably
several
hundred,
maybe
a
thousand
folks
from
around
the
world
at
a
conference
that
is
meeting
to
identify
solutions
for
those
that
are
aging
and
I
think
just,
as
importantly,
represent
the
kinds
of
individuals
who
are
affiliated
with
companies
with
health
care
and
with
Academia
to
let
them
know
not
only
is
Kentucky
a
great
state
to
come
and
for
this
conference
participate
in,
but
most
importantly,
as
opportunities
arise.
D
D
I
feel
very
strongly
that
not
only
is
this
program
and
this
process
going
to
provide
to
us
the
tools
we
need
to
be
able
to
offer
up
opportunities
all
across
the
globe
as
well
as
for
companies
inside
our
state.
I
believe
that
the
process
has
brought
together
the
economic
development
professionals
and
they're
working
with
their
local
Representatives,
Representatives
or
local
elected
officials.
D
Let's
just
not
go
out
and
identify
a
piece
of
dirt.
Let's
find
a
location,
let's
bring
people
together
so
that
when
we
sell
this
product
and
we
bring
this
product
to
those
that
are
looking
for
places
to
invest
or
existing
businesses
to
expand,
they
get
more
than
just
a
piece
of
dirt.
They
get
access
to
the
workforce,
training
opportunities
that
we
have
in
our
state.
They
get
access
to
the
universities
who
can
be
problem
solvers.
D
That's
really
the
desire
that
we
all
have
that's
the
commitment
that
we
make
and
I
think
you'll
also
find
that
it
is
the
kinds
of
jobs
that
we're
attracting
they're,
not
only
going
to
help
those
that
fill
them,
but
we're
attracting
companies
that
are
on
The,
Cutting,
Edge
of
new
technologies
and,
as
you
all
know,
we're
a
heavily
Automotive
State.
We
have
a
lot
of
companies
that
depend
upon
the
automotive
sector,
and
now
we
are
leading
the
automotive
sector
in
terms
of
the
EV
industry,
and
we
think
that
we
can
attract
new
companies.
D
But
just
as
importantly,
by
having
that
kind
of
presence
in
our
our
state,
we
can
help
all
of
our
existing
companies
that
are
working
with
the
traditional
Automotive
sectors
to
be
a
part
of
the
new
wave
and
tomorrow.
But
still
it
takes
access
to
land
the
products
that
we
need
to
provide
for
those
kinds
of
opportunities
to
present
themselves,
which
is
again.
Why
we're
here
today
to
talk
about
the
PDI
program.
D
Obviously,
you
got
to
have
something
to
sell
and
I
love
to
go,
sell
it's
one
of
those
things
that
I
really
truly
enjoy
doing,
but
I
learned
a
long
time
ago.
You
better
have
something
in
which
you're
selling,
and
it
can't
just
be
what
everybody
else
has,
and
thanks
again
to
the
great
leadership
of
our
governor
and
to
euros
great
work.
The
100
million
dollar
product
initiative
gives
us
I
think
a
leg
up
over
many
of
our
other
states.
D
But
by
having
all
of
that,
it's
so
crystal
clear
that
when
it
is
done
and
done
properly,
we
can
I
think,
in
my
opinion,
provide
approvals
on
permits
far
faster
than
any
other
state,
but
they
are
done
in
a
way
that
we
are
protecting
or
achieving
the
objective
for
which
it
was
intended,
and
that's
the
kind
of
offering
that
you
can
make
to
companies
that
truly
does
make
a
difference.
I'll
go
back
to
what
I
said
earlier.
Shared
responsibility.
D
I've
never
worked
on
a
project
whether
I
was
at
Whirlpool
Corporation
or
having
done
Economic
Development,
where
you
were
successful,
if
there
was
any
lack
of
coordination,
lack
of
team
spirit
and
everyone
working
and
pulling
from
the
same
direction
and
again
I
believe
the
work
that's
being
done
by
all
of
the
communities
to
submit
their
applications.
We've
created
even
a
stronger
team
approach
and
a
stronger
willingness
and,
more
importantly,
an
understanding
of
who
all
needs
to
be
at
the
table
to
sell
these
products
to
bring
those
jobs
and
those
opportunities
into
our
great
state.
D
We've
had
I
think
an
approach
that
is
the
right
approach.
We
had
some
initiatives
that
basically
allowed
us
to
test
the
market
and
to
make
sure
that
we
were
achieving
what
was
needed
and
I
think
you'll
find
in
some
of
the
criteria
that
we're
using
those
were
learnings.
That
came
from
those
examples-
and
we
have
them
here
today
to
talk
about
some
of
the
earlier
wins
that
came
about,
because
you
all
were
willing
to
support
our
effort
to
then
lead
to
a
much
bigger
initiative
that
was
contained
in
the
kpi
program.
D
D
As
well
as
of
Academia.
Being
a
part
of
an
organization
is
what
I
always
call
about
those
fundamentals
of
success.
Have
great
leaders
have
a
structure
in
which
you
can
work
through
your
strategy?
Develop
your
strategy
and
have
a
process
to
implement
that,
and
that's
exactly
what
the
Ked
is
all
about.
That's
why
they're
such
an
excellent
partner?
D
You
deserve
to
know
that
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
I
can
tell
you
that
Katie
and
Haley
can
answer
them
better
and
more
eloquently
than
I
can.
But
sometimes
you
need
to
hear
it
from
me,
and
so,
if
there's
anything,
that's
on
top
of
your
mind
today
that
you
need
me
to
answer
in
writing.
I'm
happy
to
do
so.
B
So
it's
a
fantastic
organization
and
network
of
practitioners
excited
to
partner
with
the
cabinet
and
site
selection
group
on
this
I,
don't
want
to
say
unprecedented
so
many
times,
but
it
really
is
an
unprecedented
investment
from
the
legislature
into
economic
development
in
Kentucky
and
so
site
selection
group
just
to
fill
you
in
on
them.
If
you're
not
familiar,
they
are
a
corporate
site
selection
firm
that
helps
companies
find
the
ideal
location
for
Success.
B
They
are
out
looking
at
properties
and
assets
that
are
truly
competitive
and
in
addition
to
that,
they
do
some
economic
development
Consulting
work,
which
is
what
they're
doing
through
the
kpdi
program.
So
you
can
see
here
from
this
slide
there's
just
they
have
a
a
wealth
of
experience
and
success.
Across
the
Nation
they're
based
out
of
Dallas
Texas
and
we've
been
fortunate
to
work
with
them.
So
the
purpose
of
this
Statewide
kpdi
program,
which
was
previously
the
product
development
initiative,
ran
for
a
few
years
here
in
Kentucky
with
great
success.
B
It
has
been
enhanced,
through
your
investment
of
100
million
dollars,
to
stimulate
transformational
Economic
Development
projects
that
create
quality
jobs
across
the
Commonwealth
and
I.
Think
that's
the
most
important
thing
to
take
away
from.
Why
we're
doing
this
is
that
the
the
goal
is
to
create
these
quality
jobs.
So
everything
about
the
metrics,
the
scoring
the
process
is
all
to
enhance
quality
of
life
and
opportunity
for
Kentucky
communities.
B
The
the
values
that
hold
up
this
approach
is
looking
at
a
holistic
approach,
they're
looking
at
Target
Industries
infrastructure,
labor
all
of
the
different
facets
within
a
community
that
make
the
ecosystem
or
the
environment
good
for
marketability,
as
well
as
return
on
investment.
You
know
this
is
one
of
those
programs
where,
while
there
are
maximum
funding
amounts
which
I'll
talk
about
in
a
second
allocated
not
allocated
maximum
funding
amounts
available
for
communities,
it
is
important
that
a
return
is
made
on
these
Investments.
B
So
that's
why
we're
working
with
national
qualified
Consultants
to
help
us
guarantee
that
these
communities
are
these
projects
are
viable
projects
and
then
the
relative
impact
is
an
important
thing
to
note.
You
know:
100
jobs
in
one
community
in
Kentucky,
as
you
know,
might
mean
something
very
different
to
another
community.
So
site
selection
group
takes
this
into
account
as
well.
We're
not
just
saying
that
one
project
in
in
a
rural
community
is
the
same
in
an
urban
community,
but
but
taking
all
those
local
factors
into
consideration.
B
There's
some
Key
Program
definitions
that
are
included,
and
this
information
is
also
available
on
the
kpdi
website.
If
you,
if
you
look
at
the
at,
if
you
Google
kpdi,
you
can
find
it,
but
it's
also
on
the
cabinet's
website.
There's
a
link
to
kpdi
that
includes
the
webinars,
the
fact
sheets.
The
frequently
asked
questions
all
of
the
the
details
here
that
are
covered
today
are
available
to
you,
anytime
too,
on
that
website.
But
an
economic
development
project
is
site
and
infrastructure
improvements
that
result
in
an
opportunity.
B
So
really
broad
categories
here
of
operation
manufacturing
agribusiness
headquarters.
You
know:
that's
one
thing
that
everyone
has
been
very
appreciative
of
the
legislature
in
doing
is
keeping
that
broad
enough,
so
that
communities
actually
have
freedom
to
figure
out
what
is
going
to
be
a
critical
industry
for
their
local
community
to
Market
and
then
eligible
Grant
recipients
are
local
government
and
economic
development
authorities.
B
So
from
the
funding
perspective,
as
we've
said,
it's
a
hundred
million
dollars
for
this
program,
it
will
be,
can
be
awarded
over
two
rounds.
It
is
expected
that
there
may
be
some
money
left
over
for
a
second
round,
but
the
same
evaluation
criteria
will
be
used
for
the
second
round
and
it's
a
competitive
process.
So
again
we're
going
back
to
that
transformational:
economic
development
that
creates
quality
jobs
across
the
Commonwealth.
B
It's
it's
based
on
relative
population,
but
theirs
is
reduced
by
50
percent
to
create
Equity
across
the
Commonwealth,
and
that
was
a
a
decision
that
the
legislature
made
that
has
has
been
received
very
well
by
Kentucky
communities.
Very
appreciative
of
that
the
evaluation
criteria
on
the
left
side
of
the
slide.
You
see,
you
know
that
the
property
is
publicly
controlled
and
free
of
impediments
and
that
there's
accessibility,
if
any
one
of
these
main
tenants
of
this
criteria
is,
is
just
not
available.
B
That's
going
to
be
very
hard
for
the
community
to
overcome,
so
we're
trying
to
be
able
to
check
all
those
boxes
and
then
go
on
to
that
scoring
criteria.
So
we've
just
closed
our
first
round
of
of
applications
which
you'll
see
that
process
here
in
a
second
on
the
next
slide,
but
but
that
is
really
what
we're
looking
at
initially
to
make
sure
a
project
can
advance
and
then
once
they
do
again,
it's
that
return
on
investment,
what's
the
workforce
characteristics
and
the
relative
positive
impact
to
that
Community
for
that
particular
project
in
its
location.
B
So
here
you
see,
this
is
similar
to
the
the
KP,
the
PDI
process
that
existed
before
this
enhanced
Statewide
program.
Letters
of
intent
were
submitted
to
kaed
and
site
selection
group.
That
Desktop
review
of
those
applications
will
then
take
place
to
determine
whether
they
proceed
on
to
scoring
site
visits
will
occur
in
November
the
week
of
November.
14Th
is
when
those
are
slated
within
our
timeline
and
I
know
that
Katie
will
get
into
details
about
that.
B
A
detailed
evaluation
and
project
recommendations
from
SSG
will
be
made
to
the
cabinet,
but
the
most
important
thing
about
this.
Well,
not
the
most
important,
but
a
point
I
want
to
make-
is
that
these
applicants
will
get
critical
feedback
from
site
selection
group
so
just
applying,
even
if
a
community
does
not
advance
and
their
project
is
not
accepted
for
funding
the
value
of
getting
feedback
from
a
site
consultant
for
our
Kentucky
communities
is
fantastic
and
that's
built
into
this
program.
So
everybody
wins
something
for
applying
so
I'm,
just
really
proud
of
our
Kentucky
communities.
E
Okay,
I'm
up
so
before
you
is
kind
of
the
proposed
timeline
that
SSG
has
put
forth
for
the
application
review
and
the
process
I
will
let
you
know
that
we
did
roll
out.
We
had
one
webinar
on
July
14th
and
that
truly
was
to
roll
out
the
program
we
rolled
out
our
fact
sheet.
That
Haley
mentioned
that's
on
the
website.
E
We
introduced
the
website
and
it
truly
was
just
an
introduction
of
the
program
and
kind
of
explained
how
things
were
going
to
occur,
and
then
we
released
kind
of
the
application
that
afternoon
of
the
of
the
webinar
and
then
had
another
webinar,
because
we
didn't
want
to
overwhelm
them
with
so
much
information
all
in
one.
So
we
had
a
second
webinar
the
following
week
on
July
21st,
to
truly
go
through
the
application
and
kind
of
the
technical
process
pieces
of
the
process,
so
that
everybody
could
understand.
E
We
did
include
both
of
those
recordings
on
our
website
so
that
if
people
were
not
able
to
attend,
they
could
go
back
and
review
those
web
webinars
or
if
they
had
questions
and
need
to
re-watch
it
they
could.
The
there
was
a
letter
of
intent,
application
or
letter
of
intent
deadline
was
August
5th.
Now,
please
note.
E
Even
if
you
did
not
submit
a
letter
of
intent,
it
doesn't
matter,
you
could
still
submit
an
application,
and
so
applications
were
due
last
Friday,
the
16th,
and
we
do
have
a
map
of
the
the
letters
intent
that
were
received
so
we'll
get
to
that
in
a
little
bit
and
then,
as
as
Haley
noted,
SSG
is
going
to
be
kind
of
reviewing
those
applications
doing
the
first
part
of
the
evaluation
right
now
and
then
they'll
do
their
site
visits,
November,
14th
and
their
goal
is
to
have
their
recommendations
and
priorities
of
projects
to
the
cabinet
by
the
end
of
the
year,
as
well
as
providing
feedback.
E
As
you
said,
it
cannot
be
stressed
the
feedback
that
these
communities
get
is
so
important,
so
they'll
be
getting
providing
that
feedback
to
the
communities
and
all
applicants
in
January
that
feedback.
Their
application
process
is
similar
to
like
responding
to
an
RFI,
so
even
getting
feedback
on
how
to
improve
their
response
will
then
help
those
communities
in
responding
to
future
rfis
for
potential
Economic
Development
projects.
So
we
do
believe
this
program
is
very
beneficial.
E
Then
we
will
present
the
project
for
approval
to
our
Kentucky
Economic
Development
Finance
Authority
kedfa,
as
well
as
because
the
EDF
program
process
does
require
the
additional
approvals
from
the
state
property
and
buildings,
commission
and
the
capital
projects
and
bond
oversight
committee.
So
there
is
still
legislative
oversight
as
to
what
projects
are
recommend
ended
for
approval.
After
all,
approvals
are
in
place.
We
then
provide
the
grant
agreement
to
the
projects,
and
then
they
can
begin
the
investment
and
what
we
do
is
we
actually
say
the
investment
can
actually
be
eligible.
They
can.
E
They
can
go
on
and
take
the
risk
now
if
they
want
and
start
making
their
investment.
Now
all
costs
will
be
eligible
back
to
the
application
date
of
September
16th
so
that
if
they
need
to
go
on
and
begin,
we
don't
want
to
hold
up
their
investment,
so
investment
May
begin
and
then
they
will
be
eligible
to
submit
the
reimbursement
requests
no
more
than
one
a
month,
because
they
could
do
a
lot.
E
We
don't
have
enough
staff
to
cover
weekly
or
daily,
so
they
can
submit
the
reimbursement
requests
and
it's
again
it's
on
a
reimbursement
basis,
so
they
have
to
provide
us
with
invoices
and
proof
of
payment
to
show
that
the
investment
has
occurred
as
well
as
their
match.
So
we
do
check
that
there
is
the
dollar
for
dollar
match.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
that
the
local
community
has
to
get
it.
E
It
could
be
that
a
private
entity
are
another,
Association
has
provided
the
match,
but
there
has
to
be
a
dollar
for
dollar
match
for
the
funds
to
be
eligible.
So
what
will
happen?
Is
this
application
and
approval
process
will
occur
next
year
during
the
calendar
year
and
then
what
we
do
is
we
will
allow
all
of
the
Investments
to
be
completed
in
all
final
disbursements
through
December
31st
of
2024..
E
So
what
because
we
need
to
build
our
inventory
and
we
don't
need
projects
Holding
Out
for
two
or
three
years
we
are
saying-
and
we
talked
about
earlier-
projects
that
are
ready
to
begin
within
the
next
two
months
are
what
are
eligible.
If
they're
not
really
ready
to
break
ground
or
do
anything
for
another
year,
we
would
prefer
that
they
wait
until
the
next
year's
cycle
for
application,
because
we
don't
want
to
hold
up
other
projects
that
are
ready
to
go
right
now
that
are
important,
those
that
are
waiting
that
won't
start
until
the
future.
E
Please
we're
asking
them
to
wait
for
future
applications
and
future
funding.
So
that's
the
process,
and
then
this
map
shows
you
the
letters
of
intent
that
were
received.
There
were
86
letters
of
intent
that
were
received
and
nine
of
them
were
regionals.
So
it
was
a
combination
of
the
counties
that
submitted
letters
of
intent
and
then
I
think
today,
as
of
last
Friday,
we're
still
I
think
Kad
and
SSG
are
still
going
through,
but
I
think
there's
been
over.
60
applications
received
and
a
few
of
those
have
been
Regional
applications.
E
So
to
update
you
on
what
we
did
with
the
pilot
program,
we
we
worked
with
kaed
starting
in
2019
and
then
the
EDF
program
approvals
were
in
2020
and
spending
occurred
by
December
31st
of
2021,
and
these
are
the
I've
got
my
numbers
because
I
can't
remember
all
my
numbers.
These
are
the
eight
total
projects
that
were
recommended,
approved
and
funded
from
the
result
of
that
that
round.
E
At
that
time
we
were
using
a
maximum
of
three
million
dollars
from
our
EDF
program,
pool
of
funds
that
the
legislature
that
you
all
provide
to
us,
and
so
these
are
the
projects
that
were
approved.
There
were
over
projected
investment
of
over
24
million
dollars,
we
approved
just
just
around
2.9
Million
and
actually
disbursements
were
a
little
over
2.6
million
dollars
and
then
for
round
two
round
two
happened
during
the
pandemic,
so
we
didn't
quite
know
how
the
budget
was
going
to
to
pan
out.
E
So
we
were
hesitant
in
the
beginning
and
said
we
couldn't
commit,
but
thankfully
kaed
went
ahead
and
did
went
through
with
the
application
process
because,
as
we
both
agreed,
it
is
the
educational
and
the
knowledge
gained
and
that's
what
we
were
stressing
that
year
and
so
after
the
they
went
through
the
process.
We
we
came
out
saying
our
budget
I
think
is
okay,
and
so
we
went
ahead
and
funded.
E
There
were
three
app
of
the
projects
that
were
recommended
that
year
and
you
can
see
those
totaled
over
2.2
million
dollars
and
we
per
we
have
approved
just
shy
of
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I
think
one
of
them
they
have
until
December
31st
of
this
year
to
finish
their
spending
and
get
the
reimbursement
I
think
one.
It
might
be
fully
completed.
I
think
that
might
be
Eddyville
and
we're
still
working
on
the
other
two
Marshall
and
Logan
County
or
Logan
Ida,
and
then
round
three.
E
We
had
a
total
of
nine
projects
that
were
recommended
to
prove,
as
a
result
of
that
they
total
over
10
million
dollars
of
investment,
and
we've
approved
over
3.1
million
dollars
for
those
programs.
There
are
still
two
on
this
where
they've
gotten
the
kid
for
approvals.
Those
are
the
asterisks
Ohio
County
and
Paradise
Park
regional.
They
are
actually
going
before
state
property
and
buildings
commission
this
week
and
I
think
capital
projects
and
bond
oversight
next
week.
E
So
they
are
pending
approvals
of
those
committees,
but
all
of
the
other
seven
projects
have
received
all
their
approvals
and
they
will
have
until
December
31st
of
next
year
to
complete
all
of
their
Investments.
So
for
total
of
all
three
rounds,
we
had
20
projects
with
a
projected
investment
of
over
36
million
dollars
and
we
were
putting
in
or
investing
6.5
million
dollars
into
those
properties.
E
So
our
first
success
from
the
program
from
round
one
Henderson
County
received
over
155
thousand
dollars
for
a
natural
gas
line
to
property
that
eventually
landed
Pratt
paper.
So
155
thousand
dollars
put
that
gas
line
in
and
now
it's
resulting
in
a
400
million
dollar
investment
and
over
300
jobs
and
I
did
speak
with
one
of
the
representatives
from
Pratt
paper
and
they
did
say
yes
that
natural
gas
line
was
important.
If
it
was
not
there,
the
site
would
not
have
been
considered
eligible
in
their
selection
process.
E
They
in
Bowling
Green,
the
Intermodal
Transportation
Authority,
is
receiving
over
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
extend
utilities
to
over
600
acres
and
though
the
benefit
of
those
are
going
to
be
our
Tyson
processing
facility.
That's
going
to
be
a
bacon
manufacturing
facility
investing
over
350
million
dollars
to
create
over
450
jobs,
as
well
as
envision.
Our
recent
announcement
with
Envision
that's
going
to
be
manufacturing,
EV
batteries
and
they're
going
to
be
investing
over
two
billion
dollars
and
creating
over
two
thousand
jobs.
E
Speaking
of
opportunities,
we
think
we're
hoping
that
the
result
of
this
program
will
give
us
those
more
sites
to
be
able
to
offer
to
companies
and
Consultants.
We
started
off
the
presentation
with
our
momentums,
showing
you
that
you
know.
We've
got
a
lot
of
momentum,
a
lot
of
activity,
so
a
lot
of
our
best
sites
have
been
captured
with
projects
and
we've
located
projects
or
existing
companies
are
expanding,
which
is
wonderful,
but
now
we've
got
to
increase
our
inventory
and
improve
our
inventory
available.
E
So
we
can
try
to
attract
those
expansion
opportunities
in
those
location
opportunities.
We
plan
to
market
the
sites
that
result
from
our
PDI
program
to
existing
companies
that
may
have
prospects,
may
have
expansion,
opportunities
themselves
or
work
with
them
to
see
if
they
have
any
suppliers.
As
you
saw,
latte
aluminum
is
a
EV
battery
supplier.
So
that's
we
are
seeing
some
suppliers
coming
in
from
the
EV
industry.
E
I
think
that
the
communities
would,
if
we
had
them
here
today,
I
think
they
would
express
to
you
their
thankfulness
and
their
gratitude
for
being
able
to
work
with
those
Consultants,
because
sometimes
these
smaller
communities
don't
have
can
can't
afford
these
consultants,
and
so
now
they're
they're.
Getting
that
experience
to
be
able
to
work
with
them
and
it's
very
beneficial
to
them.
A
Okay,
thank
you
a
couple
questions.
How
much
are
we
paying
the
national
site
consultant.
E
B
I
know
it's
in
Sixty
thousand
dollar,
installments
and
I
think
this
year
it
was
sixty
thousand
for
this
first
year
through
December,
so
I'll
get
that
information
to
you.
But
I
know
that
for
this
leg
of
work,
that's-
and
this
is.
E
A
Okay,
did
you
go
to
the
let's
see
slide,
13.
A
I
I'm
chuckling
internally
about
how
electric
vehicle
batteries
and
bacon
go
together.
But
you
know
I,
don't
know
if
we're
using
the
batteries
to
to
fry
the
bacon,
but
anyway,
the
seriously.
The
question
is
which
one
is
which
one
is
which.
A
Okay,
on
Tyson,
you
say:
451
full-time
jobs
at
28,
an
hour
average,
but
you
have
2
000
full-time
jobs.
A
E
We
are
still
finalizing
the
incentive
for
that
program,
so
we
haven't
finalized
the
wage
amount
that
is
available
publicly
yet
so
that's
why
I
haven't
been
able
to
disclose
the
wage,
but
it's
not
going
to
be
well
below
I,
think
it
will
be
in
alignment
again.
That's
EV
battery
manufacturing,
so
I
think
it'll
be
in
alignment
or
higher
than
your.
What
you're?
Seeing
for
the
bacon?
Okay.
A
E
Right
Automotive
and
Aerospace
Aerospace
are
very
large
and
we
are
promoting
these
for
all
Industries.
So
you
can
see,
we've
got
food
with
the
bacon,
we've
got
EV
battery
manufacturing,
and
so
we
we
truly
are
promoting
the
these
sites
for
all
Industries
and
we
can
get
you
some
more
information
on
the
Aerospace
and
know
right
now,
I
think
with
with
bourbon
I
know,
food
and
beverage
is
up
there
as
well
as
a
large
industry
that
we're
working
with
as
well
as
Aerospace
manufacturing
and
then.
E
A
Okay,
any
committee
members
have
any
questions.
A
Good
morning,
guys
and
good
morning,
Katie
and
I
actually
got
a
chance
to
meet
Haley.
Yesterday
afternoon
we
talked
a
little
bit
and
this
is
coming
a
little.
This
is
more
directed
to
Katie,
I
guess,
because
I
brought
this
out
kind
of
left
field
yesterday
to
Haley
and
not
directly
related
to
this,
but
just
a
curiosity,
Katie
do
you
know,
and
maybe
this
question's
more
in
line
with
transportation,
cabinet
or
tourism
and
areas
like
that.
A
But
do
you
know
if
there's
been
any
concerted
efforts
or
work
to
look
at
like
Amtrak,
connecting
Indianapolis
to
Nashville,
down
I-65
Corridor
and
in
any
federal
infrastructure
funds
that
might
be
there
if
there
are
any
Communications
at
all
about
that.
E
I
am
not
aware,
but
that
might
be
something
I
would
think.
Maybe
Transportation
if
I
don't
know,
we
might
be
involved
a
little
bit,
but
I
would
think.
Transportation
would
probably
be
the
first
ones
brought
in
on
something
like
that,
but
I
can
get
with
secretary
Noel
to
see.
If
he's
heard
of
anything,
and
we
can
let
you
if
we
hear
of
anything
we
can
let
you
know.
A
Okay,
yeah
that'd
be
great
I,
just
I
see
you
know,
I
always
like
to
look
ahead
and
with
the
EV
industry
going
where
it
is,
and
I
just
see
a
lot
of
tremendous
development
going
up
and
down
the
I-65
Corridor
over
the
next
few
decades,
and
this
might
be
our
opportunity
to
do
that.
So,
but
anyhow,
thank
you.
You're.
C
Good
morning,
I
apologize
for
being
late,
Louisville
traffic
and
the
Gene
Snyder
contributed
to
that
this
morning.
You
know,
I,
do
live
and
represent
an
area
on
the
I-65
Corridor
and
it
is
we
are
flourishing
and
a
lot
of
activity
is
happening.
C
One
of
the
things
that
I
hear
in
my
role
here
in
10
years
in
the
legislature
is
Economic
Development
and
job
attraction
for
Eastern
Kentucky
and,
and
we
talk
about
that
a
lot,
we
seem
to
see
a
lot
of
of
successes
and
businesses
locating
in
other
parts
of
the
state.
If
you
can
take
some
time
to
share
with
me
your
approach
to
bringing
industry
and
jobs
to
Eastern
Kentucky
and
highlight
any
successes
there
in
terms
of,
if
you
can
give
me
locations
and
or
or
any
potential
opportunities,
I
mean.
E
Happy
to
discuss
so
yes,
when
we
were
working
with
projects
and
Prospects,
they
are
the
ones
the
companies
are,
the
ones
that
provide
us
or
the
Consultants
with
their
requirements
and
their
criteria.
So
they
may
tell
us
how
much
if
they
need
to
be
with
within
so
many
miles
of
the
interstate
or
an
airport
if
they
need
rail
access,
water,
sewer,
utility
things
like
that.
E
There
are
times
where
we
might
see
where
there
might
be
an
Eastern,
Kentucky
location
that
might
fit
all
of
the
criteria,
but
maybe
not
one,
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
try
to
include
that
that
in
there
as
well,
because
we
do
know
that
we
want
to
try
to
grow
and
get
community
he's
locating
in
Eastern
Kentucky.
We
have
landed
one
of
some
of
the
first
EV
We
There
was
an
expansion
of
existing
company
Firestone.
E
It
was
one
of
our
first
announced
kind
of
EV
related
project
because
they're
transitioning
into
the
EV
industry,
and
so
they
were,
they
are
doing
a
project
in
Williamsburg
I
believe
it
is,
and
I
can't
remember
the
jobs
but
I
do
know
it
is
an
expansion
project
and
we
do
have.
We've
had
some
projects,
land
and
workland
over
in
I.
Think
in
the
Ashland
area.
E
But
we
are,
you
know
we
do
all
of
our
board
materials.
After
all,
the
projects
that
are
approved
they're
on
our
website,
so
we
do
make
them
publicly
available,
but
we
truly
are
trying
to
get
information
out
there
about
the
potential
for
landing
projects
in
Eastern
Kentucky,
as
well
as
in
Western
Kentucky,
truly
across
the
state.
E
But
we
do
have
to
just
work
with
the
companies
and
the
consultants
and
meet
their
criteria,
requirements
and-
and
we
can't
truly-
we
can't
just
recommend
one
over
the
other
because
we're
truly
trying
to
Market
and
get
the
entire
state.
But
we
do
know
there
is
an
F.
We
have
an
effort
to
try
to
get
some
projects
located
in
Eastern
Kentucky
and
some
other
things
that
I
can't
discuss
about
our
potential
projects.
E
B
If
I
may
add
to
that
I'm
from
Eastern
Kentucky,
so
I
have
a
personal
vested
interest
in
the
region
was
on
the
original
soar
committee
and
the
board
of
directors
there
and
have
worked
extensively
in
the
region.
You
know
part
of
what's
so
wonderful
about
this
kpdi
program.
The
enhanced
program
is
that
it's
it's
an
opportunity
for
all
Kentucky
communities
to
Market
their
assets
and
to
get
feedback
in
ways
that
they
may
never
have
before.
Kaed
specifically
focuses
on
things
like
professional
development,
but
also
Community
Education.
B
You
know
so
going
out
with
local
government
officials,
local
folks,
who
you
know
small
towns,
some
small
towns
don't
have
a
designated
economic
developer
for
their
County.
You
know
so
emphasizing
Regional
collaboration
and
and
sharing
information
on
what
you
can
do
to
prepare
your
community
for
things
like
rfis.
Even
you
know,
sometimes
there's
there's
just
a
lack
of
awareness
or
experience.
When
you
have
a
more
sparsely
populated
Community,
it
doesn't
mean
that
you're
you're
not
marketable.
It
just
means,
maybe
there's
a
different
way
to
Market
your
community.
E
Lender
support
programs
and
the
most
popular
one
was
our
collateral
support
program
and
it
was
very
popular
and
in
kind
of
Eastern
Kentucky
and
we
have
applied
for
what
their
Federal
government's
calling
ssbci
2.0
and
we
hope
we
think
we're
going
to
get
favorable
approval
and
it
will
likely
provide
us
with
over
100
million
dollars
that
we
then
hope
to
be
able
to
go
out
and
market
and
then
in
some
of
those
communities
it
might
not
right.
Now,
our
collateral,
Support
Program
allows
a
match
of
up
to
20
percent
and
under
the
program.
E
If
they
meet
certain
qualifications,
it
might
be
eligible
for
up
to
50
percent,
and
what
that
does
is
we
can
put
up
to
50
percent
of
the
loan
in
a
cat,
an
account
at
that
financial
institution
to
give
that
lender
more
comfort
and
providing
the
loan
to
those
smaller
businesses.
So,
as
we
talked
about
you
know,
10
jobs,
100
jobs.
That
means
a
lot
and
so
working
with
the
small
businesses.
E
C
And
thank
you
for
that
information
on
on
a
follow-up
question.
I
have
for
you
so
so
earlier.
You
mentioned
that
your
your
consultant
and
and
the
business
interests
and
and
others
involved
in
it,
are
trying
to
match
criteria
for
what
the
company
is
looking
for
and
what
sites
offer.
So
so
as
you're
looking
at
at
Eastern
Kentucky.
C
What
are
some
areas
that
that
maybe
the
state
needs
to
focus
more
attention
on
or
local
communities
need
to
focus
more
attention
on
factors
that
that
are
not
there
that
are
not
being
met
that
would
incentivize
these
companies
to
say
this
is
a
location
I'd
like
like
to
meet.
We
we
all
know,
we've
all
talked
to
them.
C
They
are
choosing
other
portions
of
the
State,
the
the
metro
area,
the
I-65
Corridor
those
types
of
things,
but
if
we
truly
want
to
reach
the
entire
state
with
job
opportunities
and
I,
hear
that
from
from
my
colleagues
in
Eastern
Kentucky,
they
want
the
same
opportunities
that
each
one
of
us
have
in
our
regions.
C
I
think
identifying
what
those
issues
may
be
are
things
that
we
need
to
need
to
be
aware
of.
So,
if
you
can
provide
that,
if
you
can
answer
the
question
today,
that
would
be
great.
I
would
like,
as
many
of
those
things
as
possible,
so
if
you
do
need
to
come
back
and
Supply
it
to
myself
and
and
chairman
Beckler
and
members
of
this
committee
and
staff,
that
certainly
would
be
appreciated.
E
B
Do
have
one,
though,
if
I
may
so,
and
I
learned
this
from
working
with
commissioner
Saturday
or
Slattery,
but
you
know
one
component:
this
is
only
one
component
of
the
RFI
process
includes
diversity.
There
are
a
significant
number
of
questions
about
seven
to
ten
questions
that
come
in
on
a
large
number
of
rfis.
At
this
point,
around
diversity,
asking
communities
who
you
know
what
is
your
ethnic
makeup
within
your
community
who's
in
leadership?
What
are
you
doing
to
reach
more
people,
and
this
might
seem
like?
B
Well,
you
know
people
kind
of
know,
Kentucky,
and
they
should
expect.
You
know
that
we
might
have
lower
numbers
in
those
areas.
However,
that
contributes
significantly
to
why
many
companies
are
looking
at
those
more
metropolitan
areas,
they're
not
just
coming
as
a
company
where
can
I
operate,
but
where
can
all
the
people
who
work
for
the
company
and
their
families
locate
and
feel,
welcome
and
included
and
have
opportunities
as
well
so
during
Ford
project?
This
was
a
the
SK
Innovation
ask
these
questions
very
pointedly
to
our
Kentucky
team.
What
are
you
doing
as
a
state?
B
What
are
you
doing
as
a
region?
We
need
to
know
that
when
we
bring
in
these
folks
they're
going
to
be
accepted
and
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
place,
they
want
to
live
for
the
long
term.
So
for
what
it's
worth,
this
is
something
we
are
working
on
diligently
as
an
association
in
Eastern,
Kentucky
and
other
communities
just
to
help
folks
not
be
intimidated
by
those
questions,
but
know
how
to
communicate
in
an
effective
way,
because
we
all
know
we're
here.
B
We
know
how
great
it
is
to
live
in
Kentucky,
but
sometimes
when
we
don't
have
those
metrics
it
can
be.
People
can
be
unsure,
so
helping
them
know
how
to
answer
those
rfis
in
a
very
positive
way,
so
that
folks
and
companies
know
this
is
a
welcoming
Community.
This
is
a
place.
I
want
to
live
these.
These
folks
are
interested
in
having
more
people
from
other
areas
come
into
the
Commonwealth.
E
Well
and
I
also
know:
one
of
the
a
big
driver
in
working
with
the
projects
is:
is
the
property
already
publicly
owned
and
the
reason
for
that
is
the
speed
to
Market,
because
if
it's
publicly
owned
it's
a
lot
quicker,
they
can
get
access
to
it.
A
lot
quicker
than
it
is
sometimes
if
it's
privately
owned,
and
so
that
is
I
know
a
big
factor
for
all
projects
across
all
of
the
state
which
then
this
program
I
believe,
is
going
to
be
very
beneficial
for.
C
Thank
you,
I
will
say
Mr
chairman.
If
I'm
permitted
I
do
think
the
Eastern
Kentucky
is
a
wonderful
place.
I
will
say
the
diversity
issue,
I
mean
I
mean
that's
going
to
be
I,
don't
know
how
you
changed,
that
for
folks
and
I
have
family
I
have
friends
in
Eastern,
Kentucky,
they're,
wonderful
folks,
Eastern
Kentucky
is
a
great
place
to
visit.
I
will
say
that
I
think
one
of
the
things
we
need
to
do
as
a
state
is
to
look
at
our
investment
in
tourism
and
I
know.
C
That's
part
of
what
this
committee
covers,
but
tourism
has
many
opportunities
they're
already
taking
advantage
of
some
of
those
in
the
Eastern
portion
of
the
state
and
I
think
those
could
be
areas
that
that
we
could
encourage
and
push
companies
to
locate
in
those
areas,
but
I'm
I'm
gonna
have
to
have
some
time
to
digest
the
the
reason
you
brought
out
because
I
think
that's
something
that's
difficult
for
a
community.
C
You
know
how
do
they
address
that
when
that's
not
there,
but
yet
those
folks
want
to
work
and
they
have
the
opportunity
to
work
and
the
community
would
love
to
have
those
companies
come
there?
Many
of
them
make
preparation.
I
know
we
have
some
in
eastern
portion
of
the
state,
who've
developed
industrial
parks
with
the
idea
of
having
industry
come
so
I
think
that
it
may
have
to
be
something
that,
on
our
end
on
the
state
end
in
terms
of
luring
these
companies
that
we
have
to
have
a
broader
picture.
C
That
says
this
is
why
you
need
to
come,
and
maybe
it's
all
in
how
the
messaging.
A
A
A
couple
questions
number
first
question:
a
class
one
Railway.
How?
How
important
has
that
been?
Are
we
talking
about
bringing
in
material
are
people?
You
know
just
how
important
is
a
Class
one
Railway,
and
what
are
people
looking
for
there.
E
Some
projects
need
to
have
a
real
spur
because
they're
bringing
in
large
materials
that
it's
it's
by
truck
is
it's
kind
of
it's
going
to
be
very
expensive
and
difficult,
and
so
but
some
projects
say
you
know
they
may
just
say,
having
access
to
it
or
being
close
to
where
they
could
potentially
maybe
truck
something
over
to
then
be
able
to
put
on
the
rail.
But
it
varies
by
the
different
types
of
projects,
but
we
do
see
sometimes
needing
access
to
rail
and
then
others.
Some
projects
don't
need
access
to
rails.
E
Some
and
others
didn't
need
to
have
rails
so,
but
and
they've
been
very
successful.
So
again,
it
depends
I
think
on
what
their
product
is
for
for
them
to
to,
but
I
think
the
projects,
if,
if
it
is
a
requirement-
and
we
have
the
real
access
and
they've
located,
it's
been
a
success,
but
we've
had
several
that
didn't
need
the
real
access
and
they've
been
able
to
locate
and
be
successful
as
well.
E
Rail
that
rail
is
the
only
piece
is
the
is
the
factors,
but
there
are
times
there
have
been
times
where
rail
is
needed
and
we
may
not
have
a
site
or
at
the
site
is
just
not
meeting
their
requirements,
not
just
Braille
but
others
other
things
that
don't
meet
the
requirements
like
the
size
or
right
now.
A
lot
of
it
is
the
electric
and
the
power
capacity
is
what
is
for
a
lot
of
the
sites
and
in
the
projects
needing
to
have
access
to
large.
E
Electric
capacity
is
causing
the
utilities
to
make
lots
of
Investments,
but
they
can
make
the
Investments
and
they
can
start
making
an
investment
now,
but
that
capacity
that
electricity
is
not
going
to
be
available
in
12
months.
Sometimes
it's
a
phased
plan
and
it
might
not
be
available
for
24
36
and
sometimes
even
48
months.
A
The
cost
of
electricity,
pretty
big
in
a
lot
of
these.
E
E
And
our
Utility
Partners
I
do
want
to
give
a
nice
shout
out
and
kudos
to
it.
All
of
our
Utility
Partners
are
coming
in
with
incentives
and
helping
with
and
working
with
the
projects
we're
getting
projects
to
locate
here
in
Kentucky.
It's
just
not
the
cabinet,
we're
working
with
the
locals.
There's
regionals
we're
working
with
Utility
Partners.
It's
a
team,
collaborative
effort.
There's
all
of
us
are
coming
in
trying
to
win
projects.
B
I'll
need
to
to
check
to
double
check,
to
make
sure
that's
public
information,
if
that's
okay,
but
but
once
I
get
that
answer.
I'll
follow
up
with
you
and
can
provide
that.
If
that's,
if
that's
the
case,.
E
And
what
may
happen
is
later
through
the
process
it
might
not
like
the
application
deadline
was
last
week
and,
as
we
mentioned,
we
didn't
have
the
information
to
be
able
to
put
into
the
slide.
Then
there's
over
60
applications
now
and
so
I
think,
possibly
later
through
the
process
that
information
may
be.
The
application
information
may
be
made
available.
E
The
letters
of
intent
may
not
because
they
never,
some
of
them
may
not
have
submitted
an
application
and
may
have
not
not
decided
to
move
forward
with
the
process.
So
that's
why
I
think
yeah
you
might
have
to
check
on
the
Lois,
but
the
application
information
I
think
might
be
late
available
as
we
proceed
later
in
the
process.
Okay,.
A
A
Yeah
yeah
I
think
it
would
be,
and
one
more
question
on
the
now
I
have
to
find
my
notes.
A
E
Excuse
me
what
they
do
is
they
go
again?
It's
this
whole
speed
to
Market
and
there's
a
lot
of
projects
that
truly
are
coming
in
that
are
looking
that
will
find
the
100
000
spec
square
foot
SPEC
Building
attractive,
so
that
they
can
come
in
finish
it
up
because
you've
got
the
building
there,
but
they
haven't
done
a
lot
of
the
Interior
work,
and
so
then
what
the
projects
can
do
is
that
cuts
that
gets
them
to
operations
a
lot
quicker
because
they
already
have
the
shell
of
the
building
there.
E
They
can
just
come
in
fit
it
up,
get
their
equipment
in
and
start
quicker.
And
if
you
look
at
you
know,
there's
been
lots
of
positives,
I,
think
100,
000
square
foot,
buildings
in
Corbin,
I,
think
in
the
Southeast
Kentucky
Industrial
Development
Authority
they've
had
some
spec
success
with
their
spec
buildings.
I
know
the
trans
Park
Authority
in
Bowling
Green
has
had
success
and
there's
just
been
different
areas
across
Kentucky
that
have
had
success
with
their
spec
buildings.
A
I'm
on
here,
but
no
questions
today.
Thank
you.
Okay,
thank
you
all
right!
Well,
Haley,
Katie!
Thank
you!
So
much
and
you
know
you
have
to
chastise
Jeff,
for
you
know
when
you
you
guys,
take
all
the
bullets.
