From the meeting
At its July 27, 2026 special meeting, the Benton City Council approved Mayor Rita Dotson to sign a Kentucky Department of Economic Development letter accepting a Kentucky Business Incentive Program for a potential business locating in Benton. 2% of the city payroll withholding tax for 10 years on up to 30 new employees. The business is not named, but the incentive is a live trigger for site selection and local hiring negotiations.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
