In Northern Kentucky, our legacy of international partnership has expanded our horizons and delivered prosperity. Our region is a hub of manufacturing innovation and home to many advanced manufacturing facilities, including several that based their North American operations here. Kentucky’s Foreign Trade Zone 47 in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell Counties presents a strong case for continued investment in our region. Our workforce, international airport, rivers, highways, and service from two Class 1 railroads — CSX and Norfolk Southern – make Northern Kentucky a strategic geographic location and a welcoming environment for international businesses.
