This was a Ford project. They pay very well, and have great benefits. My brother and his FIL worked for them in Louisville.

Yes, there was a lot of investment locally, including real estate and new roads. I don't know the status of those.

I put this all squarely on trump. I wouldn't be surprised to find it was just to punish Gov. Beshear, who worked really hard to bring this business to KY.
