This SiteNet Dispatch is sponsored by Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development.

Many states can claim central location. But Kentucky takes it a step further. We've got the United Parcel Service's $1 billion-plus global air hub.

This means Kentucky businesses can get their products, papers and packages into the stream of commerce later in the day than just about anywhere else in America. And that means they get to their destinations that much faster.

Add to that one of the top workforce training programs in the nation, the cheapest electricity in America, and an attractive quality of life, and you'll find that Kentucky is a slam-dunk. Contact us at 800-626-2930 or visit www.thinkkentucky.com.
