Wow – what a week it’s been in Louisville as we’ve announced HUGE investments from three local companies that cement Louisville is the place to do business.
To kick off the week, I joined Ford CEO Jim Farley to announce the “Model T” moment here at Ford’s most profitable manufacturing facility, the Louisville Assembly Plant (LAP). Ford plans to manufacture its new, affordable EV truck at the plant and install a whole new way of manufacturing that will make this facility a world-class model – changing the way products are made across industries.

We followed that up with a visit to GE Appliances to see the laundry product that will be made here in Louisville and a look at its smart factory of the future. It was exciting to help make the product, celebrate a half billion dollar investment and the creation of 800 good-paying jobs, and meet the amazing men and women who make the world’s best appliances.

Lastly, we just wrapped up meeting with Texas Roadhouse CEO Jerry Morgan to announce that this home-grown company will be purchasing the two buildings that house the company’s corporate headquarters and restaurant support center. This world-famous corporation may have Texas in its name, but it was born and bred here in Louisville. Jerry said this is a clear signal that Texas Roadhouse is doubling down on its hometown and the company’s future operations here in Louisville.

This week shows the state, the country, and the world that Louisville is THE place to do business. Whether you’re a company just starting out looking to grow, an established manufacturer looking for a new location or a corporate headquarters marketing products – this is the place you want to be.
You can feel the momentum. Louisville is on the cusp of something great. I invite you to be a part of it.
