Christian Fiscal Court approved a pair of economic development incentives Tuesday morning for one potential new industry and for a potential expansion of an existing industry.
Both incentives rebate 90 percent of new property tax revenues created back to the industry for 15 years.
One is for a Washington state-based industry that hasn’t been identified and South Western Kentucky Economic Development Council Executive Director Carter Hendricks says the manufacturer of wheel chair ramp parts and accessories would convert an existing property to create nearly 80 new jobs.
The plant could open for production as soon as the fall, if the industry chooses Christian County.
Meanwhile, Steve Wilson is the plant manager at Brazeway and says they are strongly considering an expansion of their plant on Bill Bryan Boulevard that would create 40 new jobs that would pay an average of $21 an hour.
Christian County Clerk Mike Kem told magistrates that census data isn’t available to conduct county reapportionment, so they will run next year in the same districts as they were drawn in the 2018 election.
In other action, magistrates approved a 35 mph speed limit for Ebenezer Ovil Road.
