Great meeting with @uofl President & GLI Board Member, Dr. Kim Schatzel. We discussed her commitment to collaborating with the business community to bolster our talent pipeline. I’m looking forward to her sharing more during our upcoming Business at Breakfast event on April 26th.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Cissy’s dedication to our community was unmatched and she was an amazing friend and mentor to me. She will be greatly missed!
GLI pays tribute to one of our business community’s fiercest leaders, Cissy Musselman. Cissy was not only a strong businesswoman, but also dedicated much of her life to making our region the best it could be. bizjournals.com/louisville/n…

Today, the KY House passed HB470. GLI released a statement opposing the legislation and several other unwelcoming and discriminatory bills that could harm talent attraction and retention.

We joined @LouisvilleMayor this morning as he announced a historic investment in a new community care campus & allocated $8.25 million in rental assistance. Thanks to our partners @Norton_Health, @UofLHealth, & Coalition for the Homeless for your support. greaterlouisville.com/advoca…

So proud of the partnership we have built with @GEAppliancesCo! Looking forward to seeing how this partnership grows our regional economy and the impact it has on advancing economic inclusion in the years ahead.
We believe #diversity is our greatest strength. That’s why we partnered with @GLIChamber to find diverse-owned suppliers who can serve GEA along with many of Louisville’s big companies and help to build stronger, more equitable communities. #TheGEAWay

Exciting results and hopefully even more to come before the end of 2022!
As we wrap up 2022, it's always fun to look back on our biggest economic development wins. Ben Pratt joined @WDRB to discuss the 12 projects GLI helped land, which will create more than 977 direct jobs and $400 million in economic investment in the region. wdrb.com/news/business/gli-b…
I want to thank President @CouncilmanJames for his four terms as leader of Louisville Metro Council. I appreciate his continued partnership and steady leadership of our community during times of growth and uncertainty. 1/2

The state of the economy is top of mind for all of us because there is a degree of uncertainty. Thanks to our partner, @PNCBank, for providing insights and predictions from their Chief Economist on how the economy will change in the coming year.
We enlisted the expertise of PNC’s Chief Economist, @GusFaucherPNC, to answer these questions and more in our latest Investor Perspective.
