BE NKY Growth Partnership, Northern Kentucky’s primary economic development agency, was awarded the 2024 Mac Conway Award for Excellence in Economic Development by Site Selection magazine.
The publication annually presents the award to 20 local and regional economic development organizations across the United States. The selection criteria focus on success in job creation and capital investment projects within the organizations’ respective regions.
“The Mac Conway Award showcases the positive impact that BE NKY Growth Partnership and REDI Cincinnati have collectively had on the economy and prosperity of the Cincinnati region over the last year,” BE NKY President Lee Crume said in a press release. “I am proud of my team for their hard work bringing new jobs and investment to Northern Kentucky, including nearly $400 million in capital investment in 2023.”
BE NKY was named alongside REDI Cincinnati, an organization that serves as a first point of contact for companies relocated to the Greater Cincinnati region.
