What are Northern Kentucky’s Target Industry Sectors?

BE NKY’s Board Meeting & Q4 Economic Development Briefing

Join BE NKY and Ernst & Young as we present updated target industry sectors for Northern Kentucky. It has been five years since BE NKY released our first target industry report and the economy has changed as a result of COVID, federal economic policies and global instability. Ernst & Young has been analyzing key data for Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties and will share how they identified industries that BE NKY will focus on retaining and attracting to the region.
