Governor Andy Beshear on Monday announced two more Lyon County locations as ‘Build-Ready’ locations.
A news release says the sites, located at 1000 Industrial Park Road in Eddyville Industrial Park and publicly owned by the Eddyville Riverport and Industrial Development Authority, add to the state’s growing list of properties certified by the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development as Build-Ready.
Build-Ready sites are available for companies looking to locate in the commonwealth and start construction and operations quickly.
Site A includes 20 – 80 acres within the Eddyville city limits at the Eddyville Industrial Park. Site B consists of 8 – 20 acres within the same industrial park. The Eddyville Industrial Park itself is 106 acres available for development. The Site A property sits only half a mile from Interstate Highway 69 and four miles from Interstate Highway 24. Additionally, the property is five miles from Eddyville Riverport, with a rail spur on-site.
The Eddyville Industrial Park is also only 35 miles east of the Barkley Regional Airport in Paducah.
Eddyville Mayor Greg Greene says, “Speed-to-market is a decision driver in economic development. We are ready to meet the needs of business as they make location decisions. Our industrial park is fully served with utilities, has great transportation access and truly embodies the ‘Build-Ready’ spirit. With the completion of these Build-Ready sites, we are ready to meet any timeline a company has when they are looking for a new site.”
