Kentucky expects to have a marketing toolkit and a final report out to each of its 11 riverports next month, designed to help each one grow. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet concluded its third online riverport freight summit September 2 (also see WJ, September 6). The summits are part of the Kentucky Riverports, Highway and Rail Freight Study, which is wrapping up after close to two years of work. The summits and study were designed to gather information and to help connect economic development officials and representatives from the state's public riverports so they can understand each other's resources. The resulting report provides business intelligence, including target commodities, and will help the state determine how to best invest in each one to bring more jobs to the state, developers hope. |
