Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman announced Tuesday that Kentucky received $105.4 million for this year's Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement payment.
In Kentucky, half of the funds are allocated for agricultural diversification through grants distributed by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.
The remaining funds are split evenly between the Early Childhood Development Fund and the Kentucky Health Care Improvement Fund.
The Commonwealth has received $2.7 billion from the nationwide agreement with cigarette manufacturers since 1998.
