Barren to get $500k for Industrial Park access By Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear today announced funding for access roads to spur development at industrial parks in Warren, Barren and Fulton counties. "Even as we battle and sacrifice to save lives and control the spread of COVID-19, we still are working to grow our Kentucky economy," Gov. Beshear said. "The work of growing our economy includes creating a favorable environment for manufacturing. That, in turn, requires more than just acreage. It requires investment in vital infrastructure, which includes access roads," Gov. Beshear said. "We want our communities to be able to capitalize on development opportunities, but opportunity has to be met by preparation." Transportation Secretary Jim Gray said the new projects show how good streets and roads are indispensable to economic development. "The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is proud to be part of Team Kentucky and to have a role in preparing the ground for new, job-creating industrial sites," Secretary Gray said.

VOCA funding allows enhanced victim notification system By Morgan Hall Frankfort, KY - Governor Andy Beshear and the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet announced today the Kentucky Department of Corrections has been awarded $551,000 in grant funding for significant enhancements to the state's victim notification system. The supplemental funding under the federal Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), a federal grant program supporting direct assistance services to victims and survivors of all types of crimes, will help to enhance the VINE system platform and offer many new features for victims and victim service providers. These additional funds are from the VOCA grant KY received in FY2019. Kentucky was the first state in the nation to provide automatic notifications to crime victims statewide when VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) was launched in 1996. It provides those who register for the free service, timely and reliable custody status updates via email, phone call and, with the new enhancements, text messages.
