State Incentives

Kentucky offers a variety of flexible incentives for companies considering location to Kentucky, as well as expansion of existing businesses. The following information is meant to be a summary guide to Kentucky’s Incentive Programs as presented by the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA). As with all state administered tax incentive programs, any inducement offered to an eligible company is negotiated by the Cabinet for Economic Development officials.

There is an array of incentives and we’d be more than happy to coordinate the incentive discussion. Contact us today to learn more about which incentives would work for you.
