Leaders celeberate Brazeway's expansion

“It was an incredibly difficult decision to choose to close our founding plant in Michigan,” Boyse said, “but we’re certain that Kentucky is the right place to enhance service to our customers. We have tremendous confidence in the workforce here, and the State and Local Partnerships made it clear that Kentucky is committed to support our business and help us become more competitive.”
 

In response to the announcement several key officials offered their comments.
 

Mayor Dan Kemp - "Brazeway is one of our best local industrial partners and I am delighted that the plant will be expanding here and adding a significant number of new good paying jobs. The City will be partnering with the State to provide incentives which will pay off over the long run by growing our local economy."
 

County Judge Executive Steve Tribble- “We’re so proud to support one of our local industries as they continue to grow in our County. We’ve obviously got the right mix of hardworking people and great infrastructure to make this expansion possible. We hope for many more expansions from this fine company.”
