Barren County Builds for Business | Lexington News

Barren County, Kentucky just broke ground on a 60,000-square-foot speculative industrial building designed to attract fast-growing businesses in manufacturing, logistics, and distribution—no tenant needed yet. Part of the South Cooper Industrial Park’s third speculative project, it’s built for rapid expansion up to 240,000 sq ft and slated for completion by early 2027. Located on 15 acres near major highways, the park already hosts established tenants like Bluegrass Ingredients and global powder coating giant Union Coating. Backed by $2 million in state funding last year, this strategic move signals Barren County’s serious commitment to economic growth and competitiveness.
