Gov. Beshear: Main Street Communities Report $63.7 Million Investment, 394 New Jobs, 105 New Businesses in 2024
FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 24, 2025) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky Main Street communities reported a cumulative investment of $63.7 million in downtown commercial districts, resulting in a net gain of 394 new jobs and 105 new businesses in 2024.
“Vibrant downtowns help our communities thrive, and our Kentucky Main Street program plays an important role in revitalizing downtowns, attracting new business and opportunities for our people and contributing to Kentucky’s economic growth,” said Gov. Beshear. “We’re thankful to have dedicated Main Street leaders building on our New Kentucky Home initiative by improving their communities, creating economic development opportunities and attracting tourists.”
The $63.7 million investment includes $11.6 million in budget and grant contributions from counties and cities and $23.1 million in private investments, matched by $32.7 million in public improvements. Public improvements encompass building rehabilitation and renovations, new construction and other enhancement projects.
Additionally, these communities finished the year with a net gain of 394 full-time and part-time jobs, 38 business expansions, 104 rehabilitation projects, 76 facade and exterior renovation projects, 106 public improvement projects and seven new construction projects in Main Street districts.
“Today’s announcement is proof that small towns can drive big change,” said Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Lindy Casebier. “The Kentucky Main Street program has sparked remarkable economic growth, empowering communities across the commonwealth.”
Since its inception, the Kentucky Main Street program has generated over $4.7 billion in investment throughout the commonwealth.
In 2024, Morehead reported a net gain of nine new businesses, 156 new jobs and a cumulative investment of $3.5 million in its downtown district.
Tony Pence, Morehead’s Main Street director, highlighted how the program has created confidence in its community: “Over the past 10 years or so, we have been able to revitalize a dead area in our downtown with investments in the rehabilitation of buildings. We’ve had city buy-in to work with us. We’ve been able to get a historic district created in our downtown, and all those things combined have created an atmosphere of investor confidence and people are coming back. For a long time, on Friday and Saturday nights our downtown was dark and quiet – there was no one there. Now, our downtown is alive again. It’s about creating an environment where businesses can succeed and people enjoy themselves.”
Murray Main Street reported $3.2 million in cumulative investment, 13 building rehabilitations, 15 facade and exterior rehabilitations, a net gain of four new businesses and 14 new jobs.
Murray Main Street Director Deana Wright shared how the program has helped keep downtown businesses visible: “We started because we saw the sprawl that was beginning to happen in Murray, and we knew the downtown area was going to suffer. We started the program to prevent decline and to continue the vitality of the downtown area. We’ve been awarded grants to redo the streetscape. We started and have been very influential with the farmers market, which is one of the largest in the region – it brings thousands of people downtown. Our goal is ‘feet on the street,’ and that’s what we’ve done for over 24 years through events and activities. We continue to build on the small-town, family atmosphere in our downtown court square.”
Shelbyville Main Street saw cumulative investments of more than $3 million, with a net gain of four businesses and 11 jobs, as well as five building renovations and three facade improvement projects.
“It’s about being vibrant,” said Shelby Main Street Director Darlene Snow. “That’s the energy created by having a Kentucky Main Street program – the businesses gain visibility, and the community gets to enjoy all the things happening downtown. Main Street communities help each other and share ideas, which benefits all of us. I’m really proud of the businesses that are coming in and opening up. The downtown businesses are growing instead of closing, so we’re very excited to see our community supporting local and shopping local. People want to come into our community – they see everything going on and how the community has rallied to support their town.”
Kentucky Main Street is not just for larger towns. Beattyville, with a population of only 1,250, reported a cumulative investment of $187,942, resulting in a net gain of four new businesses and three new jobs, as well as two building renovation projects and one facade renovation project.
“For Beattyville, the benefit of being a Kentucky Main Street community is that, as a small community with limited resources, population and budget, it makes us part of the bigger picture,” said Beattyville Main Street Director Teresa Mays. “It puts us on the same level as larger cities with bigger budgets and more resources. It puts us in that game with them to become part of bigger projects and gives us access to resources we wouldn’t otherwise have. Our town has gone through two historic floods, and while we are still recovering, the resiliency and determination of the community is evident.”
The Kentucky Main Street program builds on the New Kentucky Home initiative by revitalizing downtown communities to attract new visitors. The Kentucky Main Street communities’ investments and job creation build on the commonwealth’s recent economic momentum, including within the tourism industry.
To capitalize on Kentucky’s historic economic momentum and record-breaking tourism success, Gov. Beshear recently announced New Kentucky Home, a strategic initiative to further drive economic investment, attract and retain talent and increase tourism across the commonwealth.
Last year, the Governor announced that 2023 was the best year on record for tourism, with $13.8 billion in economic impact and 95,222 jobs. This followed a record-breaking 2022 when he announced that tourism had generated more than $12.9 billion in economic impact and secured 91,668 jobs in Kentucky that year.
Kentucky’s impressive economic success over the last five years is a direct reflection of the Beshear administration’s continued investments in the tourism industry.
In January, Gov. Beshear announced that 87 tourism marketing organizations across 80 counties are receiving $2 million through the Regional Marketing and Matching Funds Program.
In December 2024, Gov. Beshear announced that the commonwealth achieved another historic milestone, marking a new record with 10 new tourism development projects set to generate an estimated $256 million in economic investment. These projects also are expected to create 1,696 jobs once operational.
In 2022, Gov. Beshear announced $75 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to boost the state’s tourism industry and economy. Previously, the Governor dedicated $5.3 million in federal funding to 103 tourism and destination marketing organizations in 88 Kentucky counties.
Since the beginning of the Beshear administration, 33 tourism development projects totaling an estimated investment of $1 billion have received final approval. Once operational, these projects will create roughly 4,825 jobs. This is the highest investment figure secured during the tenure of any governor in the commonwealth’s history.
The Kentucky Main Street Association, a nonprofit organization, provides support to Main Street communities by offering assistance with planning, training, fundraising and program development. To learn more about the Kentucky Main Street program and the 2024 Kentucky Main Street report, visit the About the Kentucky Main Street Program page on the Kentucky Heritage Council website.
The Kentucky Main Street program was created by the Kentucky Heritage Council/State Historic Preservation Office in 1979 to reverse economic decline in central business districts through historic preservation and redevelopment of commercial buildings. The statewide program currently serves 22 communities: Bardstown, Beattyville, Campbellsville, Carrollton, Grayson, Guthrie, LaGrange, Maysville, Middlesboro, Morehead, Murray, Paducah, Perryville, Pikeville, Pineville, Salyersville, Scottsville, Shelbyville, Springfield, Taylorsville, the Tri-Cities of Cumberland, Benham, and Lynch and Williamsburg.

This project represents more than just growth – it’s a commitment to creating local jobs, investing in our region’s future, and staying true to the values that have guided our family,” said Jennifer Miles Ratterman, executive vice president at PMI. “This expansion marks a significant milestone in our company’s journey and reinforces our commitment to long-term growth, innovation and community investment. By scaling our operations, we are not only meeting growing customer demand but also creating new employment opportunities and contributing to the economic vitality of the region.

Gov. Beshear Boosts Reentry Initiatives That Support Job Growth
FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 24, 2025) – Today, to further support job growth and help reunite families, Gov. Andy Beshear announced more than a dozen new vocational programs at Kentucky’s adult correctional facilities across the state.
These new programs are part of the Governor’s reentry initiative, which assists inmates who are leaving incarceration fund meaningful employment, addiction treatment and education so they do not reoffend and can build a better future for themselves and their families. The initiative also aims to keep the state’s recidivism low and boost public safety. Under the Governor’s leadership, Kentucky has secured low recidivism rates with nearly 70% of people released from state custody over the past two years not being re-incarcerated.
“To continue this historic progress, we are doubling down on our commitment to reentry programs,” Gov. Beshear said. “When we invest in these programs we are investing in our families and communities, which results in job growth and enhanced public safety.”
More than a dozen new vocational programs include training in plumbing, basic construction skills, HVAC and commercial vehicle operation, among others. The vocational programs will be available as early as this summer with others launching in spring 2026.
This new initiative is being funded by a career and technical education workforce development grant from the Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet. The Kentucky Community and Technical College System is a vital partner in much of the educational programming provided by the Department of Corrections.
Last year, the Governor announced that the first prison to launch a new professional licensure program would be the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women, which is establishing a licensed cosmetology school. This is the first time in Kentucky that a prison has operated a cosmetology school.
In February, the administration announced a partnership with Ironworkers Local Union #70 for inmates housed at Northpoint Training Center and Luther Luckett Correctional Complex to participate in a pre-apprenticeship program. Through this two-year paid program, inmates will have the opportunity to become skilled ironworkers, installing and assembling the structural steel and iron components that build the framework of our buildings and our bridges.
The reentry initiative is led by special advisor Kerry Harvey, who said, “Meaningful employment is a fundamental element of successful reentry. A living wage job allows returning inmates to support their families and provides the promise of a better future. People with a hopeful future are far less likely to reoffend. We are building a growing roster of Kentucky employers who are giving reentering inmates a fair chance to compete for jobs for which they are qualified.”
The Governor also signed an executive order creating the Team Kentucky Office of Reentry Services. The office will be headed up by Natalie Burikhanov, who has been with us the Justice Cabinet. Ann Blaylock, with the Education and Labor Cabinet, will serve as general counsel for the office.
“We welcome these folks to their new roles where they will work with cabinet secretaries and agency heads as well as many partners to continue our re-entry work,” Gov. Beshear said.
The Governor highlighted that the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with Team Kentucky to identify second chance employers who are interested in hiring eligible former inmates. As of today, the chamber has identified more than 25 employers for the initial pilot program, the Fair Chance Hiring Campaign, with a commitment to growing the list.
“Employment is one of the most powerful tools we have to reduce recidivism and break the cycle of incarceration. When individuals have the opportunity to earn a paycheck, they are less likely to reoffend, making our communities safer, supporting self-sufficiency and reducing taxpayer costs,” said Kentucky Chamber President and CEO Ashli Watts in a video. “Kentucky’s business community has a critical role to play, and many are already stepping up. Through the chamber’s Fair Chance Academy, 218 employers have been trained, hiring over 550 fair chance employees. Fair chance hiring is on the rise nationwide, and Kentucky is proud to lead that charge. To truly scale these efforts, we must work with policymakers to reduce the red tape that keeps ready and willing workers on the sidelines. We’re proud to partner with the Governor’s Office through the Fair Chance Hiring Campaign to grow this important work, making it easier and more accessible for businesses across the commonwealth to be part of the solution.”
By working together, the Team Kentucky is building a better commonwealth full of opportunities for all Kentuckians.
The Governor has announced that overdose deaths in the commonwealth decreased two years in a row, with 2023 seeing a 9.8% decrease compared with the previous year.
Since the beginning of his administration, Gov. Beshear has announced more than 1,100 private-sector new-location and expansion projects totaling over $35 billion in announced investments, creating more than 60,500 jobs. This is the highest investment figure secured during the tenure of any governor in the commonwealth’s history and $14 billion more than the next highest total.
To build on these successes, the Governor is focused on investing in reentry programs.
In March, Gov. Beshear signed Senate Bill 22, allowing inmates the opportunity to take the barbering test to obtain their license while incarcerated and secure a job upon release.
Each of Kentucky’s 14 state prisons has established its own reentry center. The centers operate inside the prisons and deliver focused life-skills training designed to prepare inmates for success upon release.
On Oct. 17, 2024, the Governor signed an executive order establishing the Governor’s Council of Second Chance Employers, comprising 15 business and community leaders.
In April 2024, Gov. Beshear announced a new website to help Kentuckians seeking a second chance find a job, get an education or continue recovery. The site also connects business leaders with resources to help them hire second-chance talent.
In 2023, the Governor was joined by members of the Kentucky State Building and Construction Trades Council to launch the Jobs on Day One initiative, which aims to provide inmates with employable skills when they leave incarceration. Employers interested in participating in Jobs on Day One, click here.
On his third day in office, Gov. Beshear restored voting rights to Kentuckians who had completed their sentences for nonviolent, nonsexual offenses. Now nearly 196,748 Kentuckians’ voting rights have been restored.

Gov. Beshear: Additional Counties Affected by February Flooding Denied FEMA Assistance
FRANKFORT, Ky. (April 23, 2025) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has denied Public Assistance for two counties and Individual Assistance for six counties affected by flooding in February has been denied.
In a letter to the Governor, FEMA wrote, “[B]ased on the results of the joint Preliminary Damage Assessments, it has been determined that the impact to the individuals and households in Butler, Franklin, Knox, Laurel, Lawrence, and Whitley Counties is not of the severity and magnitude to warrant their designation under the Individual Assistance program.”
The FEMA letter also states, “In addition, it has been determined that the impact to the infrastructure in Simpson and Woodford Counties is not of the severity and magnitude to warrant their designation under the Public Assistance program.”
“While we are grateful to have gotten an Expedited Major Disaster Declaration for the February flooding, which has authorized at least some level of public assistance for local governments in 68 counties and individual assistance for Kentuckians in 16 counties, we are disappointed to receive this latest news,” Gov. Beshear said. “We are actively comparing the damage assessments, and we plan to appeal this decision.”
The Governor will host his standing Team Kentucky Update on Thursday, where he will provide the latest information on the state’s response to severe weather in February and April.
Regarding the April flooding event, the Gov. Beshear requested a Major Disaster Declaration from President Donald Trump on April 11. The state is still waiting to hear if that request has been approved. In it, the Governor asked for Individual Assistance for 13 counties and Public Assistance and Direct Federal Assistance for 33 counties. Gov. Beshear stressed that this includes just the initial counties in order to make the best case for assistance and that more counties could be added.
