"WELCOME TO UNION COUNTY"

Just a little about Union County, Kentucky.

Union County is mostly farming and coal mining..Right now there is very little industry in the county but the Economic Development Foundation is working on bringing more industry into the county. Right now we have the coal mines, Trelleborg Yshe Rubber plant (auto products), Sonoco (paper),Ray-Loc (auto products). There will be a new plant opening probably early 1999 that will make plastic auto parts also a new car body shop being built. These are all located in Morganfield Industrial Park. The Sturgis Industrial Park houses a sweatshirt, pants and shorts industry and a cable t-v industry. There was just recently a new golf course added at the Sturgis fairgrounds. A new business will be arriving in Union County in the year 2000. Sykes Enterprises computer help lines are locating here, they will be providing around 400 jobs. Welcome Sykes, we are glad to have you.
