Greenup County officials announce Ohio trucking company will relocate, land secured

Judge Bobby Hall announced March 10 that a trucking company from Ohio, identified in the meeting record as BWC Trucking, has purchased land in Greenup County and is planning to relocate operations to the county.

"The land has been purchased, the deed has been recorded, and the money is in the bank," Judge Bobby Hall said, adding that county officials would meet the company to finalize legal details and announce the facility location at a later date. He said the county is focused on filling empty buildings and vacant land to create jobs and spur local commerce.

Court members responded positively, and Hall said he expected the Kelly family, named in the record as company principals, to move to Greenup County. No employment numbers, tax incentives or precise site address were provided at the meeting.

The announcement came during routine business; the court did not take a formal vote on incentives or approvals related to the relocation. Court materials and remarks indicate county leaders will meet privately with company representatives to complete remaining steps before publicly naming the site.

Next steps: county officials said they will provide a follow-up announcement with the location details and any agreements reached with the company.
