Beshear holds Team Kentucky update

Governor Andy Beshear offred his first Team Kentucky update of his second term Thursday.

Beshear reflected on his record-breaking first term that led to many firsts for Kentucky and pledged to continue to set politics aside, lead by example and keep working hard to move the state forward. 

Gov. Beshear said the past four years have been the best in Kentucky's history for new private-sector investments, with $28.5 billion announced since December 2019.

More than 940 private-sector new-location and expansion projects have been announced, creating more than 500,000 full-time jobs for Kentuckians.

The governor also announced the total value of Kentucky State Police's drug seizures in November amounted to over $1.6 million, making last month the highest total value seized this year.
