Nicholasville, KY – This week, Congressman Andy Barr (KY-06) announced $4,000,000 in federal funding to the city of Nicholasville and Jessamine County to develop 91 additional acres of industrial land in an opportunity zone on the south side Nicholasville. This development will expand the existing Jennette Industrial Park. Barr secured this funding in the Fiscal Year 2023 and Fiscal Year 2024 Community Project Funding Processes.
“When you have a sophisticated infrastructure in place, you can attract high-quality technology and aerospace jobs,” said Congressman Barr. “This funding will bring over 600 jobs to the community and will inevitably be a huge return on investment. I am proud to be sending Jessamine Countians’ hard-earned tax dollars back to their community.”
“I want to thank Congressman Barr for assisting Jessamine County in moving this important economic process forward. The Jeanette Industrial Park will provide employment for 100’s of families for generations to come.” Jessamine County Judge Executive David West
