Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said on Dec. 19 that the state would welcome its “fifth largest job-creation project” through a $69 million investment from Kitchen Food Co., an Australian food company.

Kitchen Food will use its investment to establish a facility in Hopkinsville. Construction and renovation work will begin early next year and be completed by summer 2026.
