Two companies in Northwest Kentucky will be celebrating the grand opening of their new facilities next week:
Homecare Products will celebrate the opening of their new Morganfield manufacturing facility on Wednesday, 5 May at 2 pm. Located in the Morganfield Industrial Park, this new 100,000 sq. ft. facility will be used to produce the company’s EZ Access portable wheelchair ramps and Access One industrial steps.
Innovative Workflow Technologies will be showing off their new office and software development center on Friday, 7 May, at 2 pm. The building is located on Amiet Drive just past the Henderson Airport. The company, which develops software for the healthcare industry, will also be signing their forgivable loan with Henderson County at the festivities.
Both events are open to the public.
Allstate Tower Company has purchased the Vincent Industrial Plastics facility in Henderson. The company had previously announced plans to construct approximately 20,000 sq. ft. facility in Henderson Corporate Park. However, the purchase of the VIP facility is allowing them to expand to 70,000 sq. ft. and offer 200,000 sq. ft. to lease.

The EDA has awarded $450,000 to the Henderson City-County Air Board for the construction of two hangars totaling more than 15,000 sq. ft. The hangars would be used to service two companies, including Innovative Workflow Technologies which recently located in Henderson. The construction of the hangars was an important aspect of IWT locating its headquarters and data development center in Henderson.
The airport has become a growing part of the local economy following a series of investment by the community, state and federal governments including a new terminal and runway enhancements. Ron Collins Aviation Electronics located to the airport in recent years and Don Davis Aviation continues to expand as well.
