Entrepreneur center ready for business


The fifth floor of the Soaper Building at Second and Main streets affords visitors some of the best views in Henderson, overlooking Main Street as well as the Ohio River.

It also now houses the hopes and tools for growing the economy of the greater Henderson area, from recruiting new industries to helping small homegrown businesses grow.

The space is the new home of Northwest Kentucky Forward, the economic development organization for Henderson, Union, Webster and McLean counties.
