Yesterday marked a historic milestone for Central Kentucky as leaders from Fayette, Scott, and Madison counties officially broke ground on the region’s first public, multi-county economic development project , the 300-acre Triple Crown Business Park.

This collaborative effort between Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, the City of Berea, Madison County, and Scott County represents a bold investment in regional growth, job creation, and long-term opportunity.

This project is a powerful example of what can happen when communities work together instead of competing, with the shared goal of attracting new industry, creating quality jobs, and strengthening the economy for families across Central Kentucky. Construction on the park’s infrastructure is expected to begin this fall.
