Kentucky’s Governor, Steve Beshear was on hand this morning to cut the ribbon to open the Alltech Nutrigenomics Center. He says that he’d love to see a facility like this in every county in the state.
He wants Kentucky to project an image of a state that encourages technology, industry and engineering as well as race horses and good bourbon. He calls the Nutrigenomics Center, “agriculture of the most advanced kind.”
He says that Kentucky is proud to have helped Alltech by not only providing a $1 million grant for this facility but also an $8 million grant for the new biorefining facility that was announced yesterday.
