When Business Lexington launched 20 years ago, our mission was simple: to serve, inform, and celebrate Central Kentucky’s business community — and to have some fun, while doing it. That commitment remains strong as we continue to evolve, from a biweekly newspaper to the monthly magazine and digital platform we publish today.

Now, with our first Regional Center Kentucky Market Review issue, we’re taking another step forward. This special edition offers a comprehensive look at the people, ideas, and initiatives shaping the region’s growth, alongside the diversity, energy, and opportunity that define Central Kentucky.

Thank you for being part of our story — and for helping us tell the stories that move our community forward.

A snapshot of the diversity, energy, and opportunity that define the region.
