Big moves for Central Kentucky! Three powerhouse counties — Madison (including the City of Berea), Lexington-Fayette, and Scott — are coming together to build Central Kentucky’s first regional business park. This game-changing partnership is cutting out the competition and creating a new formula for economic development. By joining forces, these counties are laying the groundwork for a stronger, more cohesive business environment where businesses can thrive with the backing of not one, but three powerful communities. This collaboration isn’t just about shared resources — it’s about shared success. Watch how regionalism is reshaping the future of Central Kentucky and setting a new blueprint for partnerships across the state. #regionalism #economicdevelopment

The US just dropped major investment restrictions And it’s not just about China... ANY company with American leadership could get caught in this net. What you need to know: ↠ Starts January 2024 ↠ Affects AI, semiconductors & quantum tech ↠ Break the rules? That’s $1M in fines 💰 ↠ Trump takes office right after these kick in... #businessnews #technews #Investment #finance #FYP #globaltrade

@openai just dropped their blueprint for America’s tech future. Instead of focusing on Silicon Valley, they’re eyeing the heartland - proposing special economic zones designed specifically for AI development. The vision? Transform regions into tech powerhouses through new energy systems, university partnerships, and modernized infrastructure. Think Interstate Highway System, but for artificial intelligence. Most interesting part: They want government backing to make it happen, from streamlining permits to tapping Navy nuclear tech. It’s not just about building data centers - it’s about reshaping where innovation happens in America. #Infrastructure #innovation #futureoftech #economicdevelopment #aitechnology

Respect, gratitude, remembrance. 🇺🇸

A closer look at an emerging trend: AI companies are eyeing nuclear power plants for their massive energy needs. Three major projects are making headlines: - Microsoft’s potential deal with Three Mile Island - Palisades Plant’s $1.5B government loan - Diablo Canyon’s extended operations The Inflation Reduction Act’s incentives are attracting attention from tech giants, potentially reshaping communities near these facilities. Here’s what’s happening. 🔋💻 #EnergyNews #TechNews #AI #DataCenters #EconomicDevelopment #CommunityDevelopment
