The data includes information such as business names, addresses, business type and more; however, it doesn't provide exactly how much money each business received. Rather, it provides ranges that each business falls into:
- $150,000-$350,000
- $350,000-$1 million
- $1 million-$2 million
- $2 million-$5 million
- $5 million-$10 million
The majority of Kentucky businesses, 3,655 to be exact, fell into the $150,000-$350,000 range. Only 53 received between $5 million-$10 million.
The types of businesses in the data include schools, restaurants and retailers, among many others.
