4,393
Introduction and Methodology
The Kentucky foreign ownership reports provide a list of facilities (with 10 or more employees) normally
associated with Cabinet programs. Most information is taken directly from surveys completed by each facility
or from phone or personal contact with the facility. Survey information is collected on an annual basis. Facility
name, address, location, product or service, employment, ownership, and other information may change and
often does change between annual survey attempts. While all attempts are made to capture ongoing changes
from data provided by facilities, local economic development contacts, media announcements, and Cabinet
programs, no guarantee can be made that changes will be discovered. Also included on these reports, but not
counted in the total number of facilities or full-time employment, are new location projects recently announced
in Kentucky. The projects are identified by (announced) next to their projected full-time employment.
If information indicates foreign ownership, either direct or indirect, the facility is included on the Foreign
Ownership reports; a specific percentage of foreign ownership is not required. Multiple owners of a facility will
be included on the report where applicable. The use of an asterisk (*) preceding an owner's name indicates
direct ownership.
