Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Creating new jobs and securing investments has landed Kentucky a Silver Shovel award from Area Development magazine.

Kentucky earned the honor thanks to 10 projects, including Ford's major investment of $600 million in Louisville that added 1300 jobs, and General Motors' $131 million investment in its Bowling Green plant.

This is the third time in the award's seven-year history that the Commonwealth has received the honor.
