On Thursday evening, State Representative Jim Duplessis stood at the House to discuss an incentive package for a Glendale industrial opportunity.
“This was an economic incentive package for the Glendale super-site. We should know something, let’s just say before the end of the year if this is going to go through or not. And then if it does, it will be huge,” Duplessis stated. If the offer is accepted, he expects Hardin County to see an increase in educational funding, which will result in higher paying jobs.
