NKY job growth thrives with e-commerce companies in 2012

 

E-commerce in particular is gaining steam in the region, as indicated by a flurry of recent announcements. NorAm International moved its regional headquarters to NKY. Logistics company Elovations is creating 700 new jobs here. Natural product and food supplement e-tailer iHerb will create a regional e-commerce center in Hebron. Amazon is creating hundreds of jobs for the holidays, and global shipping giant DHL continues to grow from its location at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG).

The impact overall? Thousands of jobs, millions of dollars in capital investment, and a bolstered capacity to attract similar companies down the line. 

 

Northern Kentucky Tri-ED has paved the way with aggressive incentives, expert support, and fostering a climate of growth. And the region's assets are particularly well-suited to the needs of e-commerce companies, says Karen Finan, Senior Vice President of Northern Kentucky Tri-ED.

 

"Northern Kentucky is ideal for companies that need to reach major metros in the U.S. within 24 hours via air, highway or rail," Finan says. "Companies can also reach international destinations very quickly with DHL's overseas services and growing presence at CVG."

 

Site Selection magazine recently ranked Greater Cincinnati / Northern Kentucky eighth in the U.S. for corporate facility projects with a logistics component.
