The Kentucky Exposition Center is a key driver of corporate and public events in the commonwealth. Construction was completed on two new meeting spaces in the North Wing increasing the venue’s capacity to host signature events. Major renovations to the Highlands Festival Grounds and Lot C were also completed and will enhance the green space for festival goers and conventioneers. More than 63 football fields worth of dirt was excavated from the Highlands Festival Grounds to level the Lot C to improve parking, demonstration and entertainment space. The festival grounds now also have electrical, water and IT fiber built-in and suitable for activations of almost any scale. Entrance gates were also renovated and equipped with new signage along with the latest technological capabilities to expedite entry to the venue. We also invested in historical preservation with the development of a new digitization platform for historical documents. The Kentucky Heritage Council transitioned more than 130,000 survey forms and nearly 4,300 historical reports to the digital library. Kentucky Tourism, Arts & Heritage Cabinet
