From Area Development Magazine:

“It’s an honor to join Governor Beshear and the community of Henderson as we break ground on our $500 million green manufacturing investment. […] Our Henderson paper mill and box factory is the single biggest investment our company has ever made and will create 1,000 jobs, including American, green-collar manufacturing and construction jobs.†[…]

“As work continues to help our Western Kentucky communities heal after last week’s unprecedented storm, the arrival of Pratt Industries to this region will be an important part of that recovery process. […] Not only is this new operation going to create quality job opportunities for hundreds of Kentucky residents, the generosity shown by Pratt leadership during this difficult time also proves the company will be a perfect fit for Henderson and the surrounding area. I want to thank Anthony Pratt and his team for their commitment to the commonwealth. This is the start of a great partnership that will improve the lives of families throughout the region.†[…]

“Today is an exciting day for Henderson. […] The Henderson team has continued to work tirelessly on the Pratt Paper project. We could not be more proud of the Henderson team for their efforts. We feel very fortunate to have Pratt Paper as part of our community.â€
