Ah, Northern Kentucky. A region close in proximity to Cincinnati, whose access to big-city amenities and affordable neighborhoods combine to offer everyone the perfect live-work-play lifestyle. Entrepreneurs have the resources they need to thrive here, and many advanced manufacturing companies like Mazak and Prysmian Group have operations in the area. Wash all that down with a swig of Kentucky’s finest – the area is home to must-try bourbons, wines and brews – and you’ve got yourself a pretty great region to call home.
