Trade & Industry Development Presents Kentucky a 2007 Corporate Investment and Community Impact (CiCi) Award

Trade & Industry Development, a leading source of information on site selection and corporate growth strategies, recently awarded the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development a 2007 Corporate Investment and Community Impact (CiCi) Award. The awards were presented to 30 total recipients in two separate categories: Corporate Investment and Community Impact.

Kentucky’s recognition in the Corporate Investment category was a result of the UPS Worldport project in Louisville last year.  This category is directly related to overall capital investment in a particular location during the year 2006, taking into account the investment and job creation for a specific project.  The 2007 CiCi Award is presented to both the company and the economic development organization(s) responsible for transacting the project.

The CiCi Awards were created to reward companies that are making a difference by investing, locating and building relationships in communities throughout North America, as well as the economic development organizations that have facilitated their decisions.  This dual recognition is an industry first. 

Trade & Industry Development’s editorial staff consulted numerous industry experts, academics, journalists, site-selection consultants and economic developers to establish the criteria for the award. The editorial staff also called upon its extensive database of communities and economic developers to contribute their most significant site-selection transactions for 2006. Trade & Industry Development received more than 1,000 submissions for these awards throughout North America. Details on the investment and contributions of all award recipients can be viewed online at www.TradeandIndustryDev.com.
