Logistics company Bluegrass Supply Chain Services plans to establish operations in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The approximately $16 million project is expected to create 25 jobs.

In addition, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) is expanding its existing 2018 incentives to incorporate this additional investment in Indiana.
