Kentucky's governor is optimistic tonight about the state's chances of landing a Harley-Davidson manufacturing plant.

The plant could be located here in Shelby County near I-64 if the motorcycling manufacturer moves from its current facility in York, Pennsylvania.

Governor Beshear is ready to call a special session to authorize the sale of bonds that would be tied to an economic incentive package.

Harley-Davidson is expected to make a decision in early December, following a vote by its current union workers. 

The governor was in town Tuesday and said he would not raise taxes to bail this state out of the deficit.
