Carter Lumber Plans Right to Work Kentucky Expansion

Carter Lumber is investing $8.1 million in order to expand in Right to Work Bowling Green, Kentucky. They also plan to create 86 new jobs. So this is great news for the area’s economy!

From Area Development Magazine:

“We are proud to be a part of the Bowling Green community and are committed to helping it recover and thrive. […] This new facility is just one way we can contribute to the rebuilding efforts and ensure the growth of our Carter Lumber operations and the many builders we service in the area to rebuild stronger and better than before.†[…]

“Kentucky is home to some of the strongest and most resilient people anywhere. […] While we are still healing from the damage of the 2021 tornadoes, we are building back stronger than ever. This commitment from Carter Lumber to not just rebuild, but to expand their business under these circumstances is a testament to the spirit of the commonwealth and what makes Kentucky so special. I am looking forward to Carter Lumber’s continued success in Bowling Green.†[…]

“You have a company that’s not just building back to where they were, but they’re going beyond it. […] I think the more important part of all this is, they’re rebuilding, and the new technology that they’ll add will allow more building materials to be distributed across Kentucky and elsewhere, that can help even more construction happen.â€
