 The Otter Creek Correctional Facility in Wheelwright, Kentucky has been closed since 2012. But due to a collaborative effort from Governor Matt Bevin and several state and county officials, this once dormant prison will reopen as the Southeast State Correctional Complex. It fits well into what we're trying to do here in Foie County to create jobs that's going to create approximately a hundred and ninety-three state, these are going to be state jobs. It's not going to be privately owned. These will be state jobs. And they started the hiring process or the interview process today, actually the first job fairs today in Wheelwright. As of nine o'clock this morning they already had 270 applicants online. So, you know, if you need a job, you're looking for a career, this isn't just a job, this is a career. These are great jobs. I want to give credit where credit's due. We have a lot of folks that was pulling to get this prison open. It wasn't just one person. There's a lot of people working behind the scenes and, you know, we're very excited to have this opportunity to get the prison back open. Ford County Judge Executive Robert Williams says that this prison will generate a total of around ten million dollars of wages in one year. By the time that money rolls over one or two times, I mean you're talking twenty-twenty-five million dollars, it's being put back in our community. So, this will be a state-run facility. They're going to be leasing it from Core Civic. We have a link on our Facebook page to the Department of Corrections website where you apply for the jobs. You know, it's Floyd County Fiscal Court on Facebook. The link is there. It's the Department of Corrections. And I think now they have five different job titles that you can apply for. That doesn't mean there's just five jobs. That's just the titles. You have everything from corrections officers to cooks to administrative clerks to office personnel jobs that will be available. It's been a private facility sitting there dormant. These kind of things bring hope and opportunity to communities. And hope is a powerful thing. It changes people's minds. It changes their aspirations. It gives them confidence that they and their children can stay in the communities they love. And this is why we do what we do. It's an opportunity to pour back in and let people in rural Kentucky, eastern Kentucky know that they are as critical to the fabric of our commonwealth as any other city of any size anywhere. And we hope to have some announcements here in the next few weeks, maybe a month or two, on some additional jobs that we have coming to the county. So your fiscal court is working hard to try to attract businesses to Floyd County.
