Today, Gov. Andy Beshear congratulated Neogen Corp., a leading manufacturer of animal and food safety products, on the relocation and expansion of its Lexington operation, a $6 million investment creating over 70 full-time jobs and furthering the Governor's initiative to grow Kentucky's agritech sector.
"Agritech is a growing and thriving sector here in Kentucky, and companies like Neogen expanding their operations adds to that growth," said Gov. Beshear. "This project not only expands our argitech sector, it also is helping to grow our manufacturing and food and beverage industries. Neogen has operated in the commonwealth for over 30 years, and I want to thank the company's leadership for continuing to invest in the Lexington community and growing their presence here in Kentucky."
