Business Awards for the week of March 14

▪  The March 2016 edition of Site Selection magazine named the Frankfort/Franklin County Micropolitan Statistical Area as the seventh top-performing small town community in the nation for new and expanding business projects in 2015. Frankfort/Franklin County also ranked as the top such community in Kentucky.

The magazine recognized Frankfort for seven new or expanding facilities in the area. The community earned its prestigious ranking among more than 600 micropolitan areas for seven expanding projects: Beam Suntory, IDT Tools Inc., Mitsui Kinzoku Catalysts America Inc., Nashville Wire Products, Roller Die & Forming Co. Inc., Custom Data Processing, and The Recon Group. Together, these seven projects represent a community investment of $7,671,019 and the addition of 170 jobs.

The article and more information about Site Selection’s national micropolitan rankings may be found under the link “Top Micropolitans of 2015” at Siteselection.com/issues/2016/mar/top-micropolitans.cfm.
