Hey @Brenda E.!

Although 400 jobs seems like a drop in the bucket, it's a sign of the broader expansion we've seen in the manufacturing sector over the last decade. Since 2011, jobs in the manufacturing sector have increased by over 30%. This is due in part to our strategic location (access to almost 60% of the US population within 1-day's drive) and the favorable business climate the city has fostered over the years. Here's a Louisville business first article that outlines the growth:

As a commercial agent, I've witnessed the increased industrial and manufacturing activity and I believe it bodes well for the Louisville economy as a whole. Hopefully we can continue to string these wins together!

All the best,
