(Boone County, Ky.) – This week, Governor Andy Beshear highlighted continued momentum of the state’s distribution and logistics sector.

The governor announced that Verst Group Logistics Inc. plans to expand its Boone County operation with a $6.6 million investment, creating 17 new full-time, Kentucky jobs.

According to a news release from the governor’s office, Verst jobs pay an average hourly wage of $27.30 including benefits.

The project will see Verst expand its current operation and upgrade equipment in two of its buildings located at 7130 New Buffington Road in Florence. Upgrades include new LED lighting, a driveway around the building to increase traffic flow and safety, an upgraded roof, a new sprinkler system, exterior painting of the buildings, interior and exterior concrete work, among other enhancements.

This is a welcome investment for the Boone County and Florence community, and I look forward to the company’s continued success in Northern Kentucky.”
