Gov. Beshear Provides Team Kentucky Update

  

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 12, 2025) – Today, Gov. Andy Beshear provided an update on economic development, a record-breaking year for tourism, Juneteenth, updates from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, steps taken to fight federal cuts to AmeriCorps and SNAP and severe weather recovery. The Governor acknowledged Women Veterans Recognition Day and named women veterans as this week’s Team Kentucky All-Stars.

Economic Development

Yesterday, the Governor joined Norton Healthcare in Louisville to announce its plans to build a new pediatric care campus that will include a full-service hospital for children with complex medical needs, research facilities and expanded specialty services. The project marks a major expansion for the Louisville-based health care system and will feature its second free-standing, dedicated children’s hospital. The new hospital is expected to employ more than 1,000 people, making this Kentucky’s largest jobs announcement of 2025.

Gov. Beshear highlighted new momentum within the state’s manufacturing sector as Commercial Specialty Truck Holdings, a privately held manufacturer of refuse and concrete mixer truck bodies, announced plans to expand operations at the company’s headquarters in Cynthiana, a $7.5 million investment that will create 50 full-time, Kentucky jobs.

Tomorrow, the Governor will join local officials and company leadership from BE&E to break ground on the company’s new $16.2 million facility. The Muhlenberg County operation, which will be located in the Paradise Regional Industrial Park, will create 250 new Kentucky jobs.

Since the beginning of his administration, Gov. Beshear has announced nearly 1,200 private-sector new-location and expansion projects totaling over $35 billion in announced investments, creating more than 61,000 jobs.

Tourism

Gov. Beshear announced that 2024 marked a new record year for Kentucky tourism, with $14.3 billion generated in economic impact supporting 97,394 jobs, as tourism remains a key piece of the commonwealth’s booming economy. The Governor joined state tourism leaders at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory yesterday to celebrate the third straight record-breaking year for tourism in Kentucky.

Juneteenth

The Governor said there will be no Team Kentucky update next week, June 19, as the commonwealth will be recognizing Juneteenth as an executive branch holiday. Following the Governor’s executive order last year, Kentucky is officially marking Juneteenth as an executive branch holiday for the second time.

“This is an important day in our history as Americans. A day where we stand united in acknowledging our past, and our nation’s greatest injustice. A day where we honor the collective courage of African Americans who paved the way for real, meaningful change. And a day where we give thanks that the moral arc – at long last – bent toward justice,” said Gov. Beshear. “I hope everyone will join me in spending Juneteenth as a day of reflection, remembering how far we’ve come and acknowledging that the fight for progress marches on.”

Text Message Scam Alert

The Governor warned Kentuckians of a popular scam consisting of fraudulent text messages impersonating state agencies. The scam messages warn customers of unpaid traffic tickets and say that a “DMV violation” will be reported and “driving privileges” will be suspended if payment is not sent immediately. 

If you receive one of these texts, do not click the link. Even if the web address looks like it belongs to a government agency, the text is a scam. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet does not collect traffic ticket fees or notify customers of violations, and Team Kentucky is taking appropriate steps to have the fraudulent websites taken down.

Driver Licensing

The Governor shared that currently, over 39% of Kentuckians have REAL IDs, compared to 33% at the end of last year. TSA reports that 93% of those going through checkpoints at Kentucky-based airports are REAL ID compliant. To learn more about getting your REAL ID, visit realidky.com. Remember, a passport, passport card, global entry card, military ID and Veteran Health Identification Card are among the several forms of REAL ID compliant identification.

Since House Bill 15 went into effect, which lowered the age at which Kentuckians can obtain a drivers permit from 16 to 15 years old, 15,403 15-year-olds have successfully passed the written test and obtained their driving permit.

AmeriCorps and SNAP

The Governor updated Kentuckians on steps his administration is taking to fight harmful cuts from the federal government. Last week, the Governor, along with several state attorneys general and another Governor, secured a preliminary injunction in a legal challenge against President Trump’s attempt to dismantle AmeriCorps, the nation’s public service agency. This means the federal government must restore funding for AmeriCorps programs.

This week, the Governor sent a letter to Kentucky’s Congressional delegation outlining his concerns with proposed cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). More than 600,000 Kentuckians rely on SNAP to supplement their food budgets every month. This represents 13% of the commonwealth’s population, or roughly 1 in every 8 Kentuckians. The Governor said cuts to the program would leave Kentuckians hungry. He urged Kentucky’s federal delegation to consider the impact cuts would have on Kentucky’s children, seniors, individuals with medical conditions, disabilities and those still recovering from disasters.

Severe Weather Recovery

Gov. Beshear provided an update on severe weather recovery in the commonwealth. For the May 16-17 severe weather and tornadoes: Click here for a list of Disaster Recovery Centers open to those affected and click here for a fact sheet on how to apply for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) assistance. Since the commonwealth received approval, FEMA has disbursed over $1.4 million in assistance. The deadline to apply for disaster assistance is July 23, 2025.

For the May event, there currently are still five injured people at the University of Kentucky Hospital: one in critical condition, one in serious condition and three in good condition. At Levi Jackson Wilderness Road Park, 93 households are being housed in travel trailers.

For residents in Caldwell, Laurel, Pulaski, Russell, Trigg and Union counties who were affected by severe weather on May 16, today is the last day you can apply for Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (D-SNAP) benefits. If you haven’t yet applied, call 1-855-306-8959 before 4:30 p.m. EDT. As of June 10, 186 households had been approved for benefits totaling over $131,000.

The contractor hired by Laurel County has collected 13,566 cubic yards of debris for disposal. The city of London is handling its own debris removal within city-maintained properties.

For the April floods, so far, more than $22 million in Individual and Households Assistance has been disbursed. The deadline to apply has been extended to July 25, 2025.

For February severe weather, more than $47 million in federal assistance has been disbursed. The deadline to apply was May 25, 2025.

Gov. Beshear reminded Kentuckians and anyone else who would like to help that the Team Kentucky Storm Relief Fund is open for monetary donations. Funds will help to support recovery including paying for funeral expenses for those lost in disasters. To donate, click here. So far, the fund has raised more than $1.9 million in donations from 7,128 donors, including a generous $150,000 donation from Shop Local Kentucky.

Team Kentucky All-Stars

The Governor acknowledged Women Veterans Recognition Day and named women veterans as this week’s Team Kentucky All-Stars.

“We recognize and celebrate the incredible women who sacrificed their time and their health, and often faced danger to protect us,” said Gov. Beshear. “Women have proudly served this country for generations. But it was not until after World War II that women were able to serve as permanent members of the armed forces and officially be recognized as veterans. We are committed to telling their stories and ensuring they are never forgotten.”
