Kentucky Governor On Week-Long Trade Mission
Accompanied by First Lady Jane Beshear and Economic Development Secretary Larry Hayes, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear will be visiting China and Japan this week, while on a week-long trade mission to attempt to build on investments that businesses in the two countries already have made in Kentucky. Japanese companies, including Toyota Motor Manufacturing which has an assembly plant in Georgetown, employ 37,000 people in Kentucky. Since 2006, Kentucky has had a trade center in Bejing, China.
