Powell emphasized the importance of local ties, stating, "We have a lot of family and friends in this community and we wouldn’t want to be anywhere else." This expansion is part of a broader effort by the city to support local businesses, as seen with another approved abatement for Ohio Valley Manufacturing, which plans to invest $4.1 million and add 19 jobs.
