EDA provides updates on potential jobs in GRCP

From Heather Spoon and Bobby Morrison

Progress is happening at Green River Commerce Park! Cumberland Pipeline has not allowed the weather to slow them down one bit. The EDA Board couldn't be more pleased with the work that has been completed so far.

We must prepare this Park for occupancy. When a company comes along and wants to locate in the Park, we cannot say, "Give us 12-18 months to find the money and get the utilities to the location." Those opportunities will pass us by quicker than we can blink. They will move on to a community that has prepared for their arrival.


Status update:

Pennyroyal upgraded their bottling company ($6.8 Million) to a full throttle distillery ($35 Million). It takes a little longer to get that kind of money secured. Things are progressing.

Phillips Tank & Structure is operating in the building they purchased on HWY61 and has hired a few employees. They are operating out of that building and making improvements to it now.

A south side entrance permit to connect the road to HWY 55N has been approved. This project will take place after the water line project is completed.

Hope this helps those of you who are following the exciting momentum of progress toward jobs for Adair Countians!
