In conjunction with The Lane Report, Dean Dorton is proud to recognize the distinct and esteemed companies that are impacting Kentucky’s economic development through Best Bets 2017! The Best Bets list is based on several factors including the revenue figures for the last three years, employee investment, re-investment in the company, and other achievements.
