EZ-ACCESS Expands Its Union County, Kentucky, Manufacturing Center
12/06/2013
The company, which was established its Morganfield facility in 2007, expects to create 15 jobs and invest an estimated $330,000 in the Commonwealth.“We are excited for the growth of EZ-ACCESS here in Kentucky,” said J.D. Kramer, Plant Manager of EZ-ACCESS. “It has been the dedication and quality brought forth by our valued employees in this community that has set the foundation and built the confidence of our executive team to expand our Kentucky operations.”
“Growing companies are successful companies, and we are delighted that EZ-ACCESS is growing in Union County,” said Gov. Steve Beshear. “Their success is further proof that manufacturers enjoy excellent results in Kentucky. The Commonwealth’s partnership with EZ-ACCESS demonstrates the quality of our workforce, as well as the advantages which come with such an ideal location to do business.”
To encourage the investment and job growth in Union County, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved the company for tax incentives up to $150,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based incentive allows a company to keep a portion of its investment over the term of the agreement through corporate income tax credits and wage assessments by meeting job and investment targets.
“Since bringing their operation to Morganfield, EZ-ACCESS has been able to provide a significant number of skilled-labor jobs to residents of Union County,” said Morganfield Mayor Bill Young. “They are a great corporate citizen in our community, and I am proud to hear that they have decided to expand their operation. It’s a good sign for us, and a good sign for them. It’s also an indicator that they plan on being in Union County for many more years to come.”
Union County has also been certified by the Kentucky Workforce Investment Board as a Work Ready in Progress Community. The certification is an assurance to business and industry that the community is committed to providing the highly skilled workforce required in today's competitive global economy.
