There is now an incentive program available to most industries thinking about bringing jobs to Elkton.

Elkton City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Monday night which allows the city to rebate payroll taxes up to 100 percent for up to five years as an incentive for manufacturers or distribution operations to move to the Todd County town.

South Western Kentucky Economic Development Council Director Mitch Robinson was on hand and said the move puts Elkton in a better spot to recruit job-makers.



Council also approved giving Refine Tile $2,000 to help produce a video about its plant and about Elkton that will reportedly air on a national television program in the future. Robinson met with council in closed session regarding that action and said he was pleased with the results.
