Build Ready

Kentucky's Build-Ready sites must meet strict standards ensuring that an industrial project can locate on the site with minimal risk. Some of the criteria for Build-Ready certification include the completion of a building pad that would allow for the construction of a building with a minimum size of 50,000 square feet and expandable to 100,000 square feet, Environmental Phase I, Geotechnical Study, Archaeological & Historical Site Assessment, and Stream and Wetlands Mitigation. In addition to this, Build-Ready sites must have agreements with utility providers ensuring their capacity to serve an industrial tenant and agreements to complete any required infrastructure upgrades. A final component is the requirement to have preliminary design and construction plans for an industrial building to be constructed on the pad. To see a full list of criteria, click here.
