HealthTrackRx to Expand with Site in Clarksville

Texas-based clinical laboratory plans to invest nearly $3.5 million in high-tech testing laboratory

NEW ALBANY, IN. (September 20, 2022)
Southern Indiana continues to expand its presence in the fast-growing medical technology industry as HealthTrackRx, the nation’s leading PCR laboratory, announces plans for a 10,000 sq. ft. facility at 706 East Lewis and Clark Parkway in Clarksville. In this initial facility, the Texas company projects a total capital investment of $3,463,244, which will result in up to 63 new full-time positions paying well above the average wage in Clark County, with additional expansion opportunity.

HealthTrackRx is the nation’s leading molecular PCR-based infectious disease laboratory. In a global environment threatened by growing antimicrobial resistance, rapid diagnoses matter. HealthTrackRx sets the pace for industry-leading laboratory operations through unparalleled turnaround time, yielding insights that mobilize accurate clinical decisions. With over 20 years in the clinical laboratory industry, HealthTrackRx provides services to thousands of clinicians nationwide.

“This is an important strategic investment for HealthTrackRx,” said Martin Price, CEO for the company. “As part of our commitment to delivering next day results to patients anywhere in the country, HealthTrackRx is building this new testing laboratory near UPS Worldport. The State of Indiana, the Town of Clarksville and One Southern Indiana (1si) have been terrific partners in helping us establish our presence in the region.”

Based on the company’s job creation plans, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) committed an investment of up to $725,000 in HealthTrackRx through incentive-based tax credits. The tax credits are performance-based, meaning HealthTrackRx is eligible to claim incentives once Indiana residents are hired. In addition, the Town of Clarksville is offering the company a five-year forgivable loan in the amount of $110,000.

“We couldn’t be more grateful that HealthTrackRx chose to grow their business in Indiana among a world of options,” said Ann Lathrop, IEDC executive vice president of global investment. “Indiana welcomes the company’s industry expertise and looks forward to supporting them as they provide high-tech, high-quality career opportunities for Hoosiers in southern Indiana.”

“This is a major milestone for the Town of Clarksville and for the region,” said Kevin Baity, Town Manager for the Town of Clarksville. “We look forward to working with the team at HealthTrackRx as they build on their success and establish a presence in southern Indiana.”

Wendy Dant Chesser, President and CEO of One Southern Indiana enthusiastically concurred, noting, “Southern Indiana is quickly becoming a hub for manufacturing and technology, including medical technology. The decision by HealthTrackRx to open a facility in Clarksville is added confirmation of the region’s appeal for companies like theirs. HealthTrackRx is a welcome addition to the impressive array of businesses who have chosen to locate or expand here. As always, 1si is delighted to be a part of this process and looks forward to assisting in any way we can.”

Republic Bank Earns National Award Recognizing Leadership in Community and Economic Development

by Member News

LOUISVILLE, KY. (September 20, 2022) – Republic Bank & Trust Company (“Republic” or “Republic Bank”) has earned the prestigious 2022 American Bankers Association (“ABA”) Foundation Community Commitment Award. The award was given to Republic for its work in the Community and Economic Development category.

Just seven banks across the entire country were honored with Community Commitment Awards by the ABA Foundation in 2022. The ABA represents the nation’s $23.7 trillion banking industry composed of small, regional, and large banks that together employ more than 2 million people. Award winners were chosen by a field of nationally recognized experts who chose the winning banks based on the creativity and thoughtfulness of programs that embody the ideals of corporate social responsibility and demonstrate success in measurable terms.

Republic’s initiative, which united nine community banks to complete funding for the Louisville Urban League’s Norton Healthcare Sports and Learning Center and allowed the facility to open in early 2021, was called out by the ABA as an example for banks nationwide of how to make a difference in their communities.

“At Republic, our commitment to community is second to none,” said Republic Chair Steve Trager. “This is Republic’s 40th Anniversary, and we have been committed to helping our communities thrive for the entire 40 years of our existence. We’re honored to be recognized by the preeminent voice of the banking industry with this award, and proud to have played a role in bringing this dynamic complex to life.”

“We received many strong entries this year but Republic Bank and its partnership for the Louisville Urban League’s Norton Healthcare Sports and Learning Center stood out among the pack,” said Lindsay Torrico, executive director of ABA Foundation. “It’s wonderful to see an organization identify a need within its community and immediately get to work. We applaud Republic Bank for its unwavering commitment to community and hope others throughout the industry will be inspired to give back and drive community change.”

“In just one year, we’re already seeing the exciting economic and community-strengthening impact of this project from a regional standpoint but especially in West Louisville,” said Republic President and CEO Logan Pichel. “This recognition is all the more significant because it highlights the power of partnerships in coming up with creative solutions for the common good.”

The award will be presented during ABA’s Annual Convention on Oct. 4 in Austin, Texas. To learn more about the ABA Foundation Community Commitment Awards, visit aba.com/awards.

Economic Update | Southern Indiana Expansion Continues

by 1si NewsEconomic Development
–With a surge in business establishments

By Dr. Uric Dufrene, Sanders Chair in Business Professor of Finance, Indiana University Southeast

New data are out at the county level, and it shows that Southern Indiana continues to see strong job expansion. For the first quarter of 2022, the five Southern Indiana counties that comprise Louisville Metro added another 2,982 jobs from the previous year.  How does this gain compare to previous years? Since 2001, quarterly gains exceeding that number have only occurred on five separate occasions, excluding the outsize changes connected to Covid. So, a gain of almost 3,000 jobs is significant.

The highest number of job changes occurred in the accommodation and food services industry, adding 1,682 jobs from the previous year.  One of the challenges facing this industry has been labor availability.  As consumers shift spending from goods to services spending, food and drinking places, along with accommodation establishments, have faced challenges in meeting demand.  The added jobs reflect the strong demand for food and accommodation and an expanding regional labor force. The expanding labor force is providing the labor for payroll gains, and this is reflected in this large increase.

The second largest gain occurred in the “administrative and support and waste management and remediation services” industry, adding 886 jobs. While this includes everything from garbage pickup to custodial services (BLS states “office administration, hiring and placing of personnel, document preparation and similar clerical services, solicitation, collection, security and surveillance services, cleaning and waste disposal services), the large gains usually reflect changes in temporary labor services.

Strong gains also occurred in wholesale and retail trade.  Retail added another 367 jobs compared to the first quarter of 2021.  Retail trade establishments have also faced significant challenges in hiring.   Despite some of these hiring challenges, retail trade employment is higher than in the first quarters of 2019 and 2020. The death of brick-and-mortar stores has been greatly exaggerated!   Yes, more shoppers continue to rely on the convenience of online shopping, but it is still possible to succeed in physical retail.

The most significant aspect of the data relates to the number of establishments.  The number of establishments across the five counties increased by 260 compared to the previous year.   This is the largest gain since 2001. The previous high occurred during the first quarter of 2020, the same quarter of the Covid-related shutdowns.  Nation-wide, there was also a significant increase in business formations.  The most recent quarter, however, is perhaps reflective of the attractive environment for business formation and expansion across Southern Indiana.

Average weekly wages increased by $76, representing a 9.1% change from the previous year. The average weekly wage of $913 for the first quarter is the highest on record for first quarter wages. Driving these gains were transportation and warehousing and wholesale trade, increasing by $145 and $143 respectively.

In our last column, we talked about the wild ride that we could expect on September 13th.  As we have discussed in this series, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is now the most important economic indicator, larger than the almighty monthly employment report.  We saw that play out this past September 13th;   unfortunately, that was not a wild ride of enjoyment.  The CPI report showed that the core rate (CPI less food and energy) of inflation increased by an amount that was more than anticipated, and at a rate that was double the monthly change in July.   The equity markets threw a major fit, with the Down losing more than 1,000 points.  An increase of 75 basis points by the Fed is just about guaranteed, and there is now an outside chance of 100 basis points (1 percentage point).

Closure Planned for Riverside Drive and Ohio River Greenway

Construction crews will be replacing railroad ties on the L&I Bridge

CLARKSVILLE, IN (September 19, 2022) – A small section of West Riverside Drive in Clarksville will be closed to all traffic beginning Monday, September 26th. A contract was recently awarded to Cooper Railroad Service to replace the railroad ties on the L & I Bridge, which is just east of the entrance to the Falls of the Ohio State Park.

Due to that railroad work, the section of Riverside Drive under the bridge will be closed to all traffic. The closure also includes the closure of the Ohio River Greenway to pedestrians and bicyclists. The work is scheduled to begin Monday, September 26th and run through the evening of Friday, September 30th.

There is the possibility that both the trail and road may reopen throughout the evenings, however, that will be determined daily by the contractor.  Detour signs will be posted to assist drivers in finding alternate routes.

Data confirm significant impact of Manufacturing Readiness Grants program on company growth, state’s economy, Hoosier workforce

by 1si NewsEconomic Development

(September 16, 2022) – Conexus Indiana announced today results of a comprehensive study measuring the impact of the statewide Manufacturing Readiness Grants program. The $138.9 million in technology adoption projects spurred by Manufacturing Readiness Grants are adding jobs, growing wages and increasing company revenues, resulting in a 26 percent internal rate of return for the State of Indiana.

The Manufacturing Readiness Grants program was launched in 2020 as part of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation’s Economic Activity Stabilization and Enhancement (EASE) program and was extended through a separate appropriation from the Indiana General Assembly in 2021. Since inception, $17.4 million in matching grants through 212 awards have been made to stimulate private sector investments in technologies such as next-generation machines, cobots, machine vision and additive manufacturing to modernize Indiana’s manufacturing industry.

The “Manufacturing Readiness Grants Program 2022 Impact Report” analyzed data from nearly 170 projects to determine technology adoption trends and identify how and why those technologies are being deployed in manufacturers’ operations. A separate survey of 75 Manufacturing Readiness Grants recipients showed the program’s impact on jobs, wages and company revenue.

Key findings from the survey include:

  • Companies that adopted a smart manufacturing technology on average added five new positions; they also anticipated wages to grow on average $196,000 per project.
  • The average revenue impact to companies was $2.5 million, with 37 percent of those companies reporting that they anticipated revenue growth of more than 10 percent.

“Our data show that Indiana companies and the State of Indiana are clearly benefiting from the Manufacturing Readiness Grants program,” said Ryan Henderson, Conexus Indiana’s director of Innovation and Digital Transformation. “Automation and advanced technologies continue to help companies grow and add new positions, providing additional opportunities for Hoosiers to succeed in the advanced manufacturing industry.”

In its review of projects supported by Manufacturing Readiness Grants, Conexus Indiana uncovered several trends among Indiana manufacturers:

  • As automation and advanced technologies become more pervasive in manufacturing operations, companies are adding jobs and increasing wages.
  • Indiana small- to medium-sized companies are accelerating technology adoption (i.e., cobots, advanced robotics and machine vision) to a pace similar to their larger counterparts to support growth and improve productivity.
  • Digital adoption is demonstrating value across a wide array of industry segments, including fabricated metal products, plastics and rubber, food and beverage and furniture.
  • Strategic business drivers for technology investments include improved product quality, customer service improvements and onshoring and expansion into new markets, highlighting how companies are increasing their competitive edge over national and global peers.

Conexus Indiana partnered with Purdue University’s Dauch Center for the Management of Manufacturing Enterprises to analyze technology trends among the dozens of Manufacturing Readiness Grants awardees. Additionally, Conexus Indiana fielded an Impact Survey during the month of April 2022 at the request of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation to gather data on jobs, wages and company growth.

To read the full “Manufacturing Readiness Grants Program 2022 Impact Report” visit the Conexus Indiana website at https://www.conexusindiana.com/manufacturing-readiness-grants-program-2022-impact-report/

Manufacturing Readiness Grant awards announced as of September 6, 2022:

  • Number of grant awards: 212
  • Grant funding: $17.4 million
  • Total company capital investment: $138.9 million
  • Leverage ratio (calculation of projected capital investment made by industry as a result of grant funding): 7:1. For every $1 of grant funding, $7 of industry investment is generated.
  • Total number of Indiana counties where grant awards have been made: 60

“Rosie the Riveter” Art Installation Dedication Today

CLARKSVILLE, IN (September 16, 2022) – The Town of Clarksville will be celebrating the importance of women during World War II at a special celebration along the banks of the Ohio River.  Today, Friday, September 16th at 4:00 pm, the Clarksville Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will unveil its new “Rosie the Riveter” Art Installation in Ashland Park.

Last year, the HPC decided it was long overdue to celebrate Clarksville’s connection to Rose Will Monroe.  She was a riveter, helping to build B24 bombers during WWII when she was chosen to appear in a documentary to help sell war bonds.  Her image became a representation of the power of women and their contributions to the war effort here at home.  After the war, Rose Will Monroe married and settled in Clarksville, Indiana where she lived out the rest of her days.

To honor Rose, the Clarksville HPC launched a crowdfunding campaign to help build a “Rosie the Riveter” Art Installation in Clarksville’s Ashland Park overlooking the Ohio River.  More than $130,000 was raised from donors across the country.  The art installation is being created by The Weber Group of Sellersburg and will be installed in the coming weeks.  A special ceremony will be held to unveil the art installation, and will include historical music, “Rosie the Riveter” look-a-likes, a color guard, and more.

The public and members of the media are invited and encouraged to attend this special celebration honoring Clarksville’s “Rosie the Riveter.”  You can learn more about the project and see a rendering of the art installation at:

WHAT: “Rosie the Riveter” Art Installation Dedication

American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL) and City of Jeffersonville Partner to Fund Master Plan for Redevelopment of Former Jeffboat Site

by Member News

September 13, 2022 – Today the City of Jeffersonville, through its Redevelopment Commission, executed a Redevelopment Agreement in which the City will partner with American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL) in connection with the development of a master plan for the 80 acres along the Ohio Riverfront formerly known as “Jeffboat”. As part of an agreement with ACBL, the Commission will fund up to $200,000 for the costs related to OHM Advisors, which was the planning firm selected to develop the master plan and determine the best use of the property.

Earlier this year, ACBL engaged The Wheatley Group (TWG) to guide their company through a two-year asset assessment and redevelopment planning process that will result in the prominent riverfront parcel for its best use. The former Jeffboat site at one time was the site of the largest inland shipbuilding in the United States and the second-largest builder of barges until its’ closing in 2018. The shipyard was founded in Jeffersonville in the 1800s serving as one of the city’s largest employers for centuries. ACBL has assembled a team of technical and skilled professionals to prepare the property for its third century as a hub of economic activity in the Louisville MSA.

“ACBL and Jeffboat have been an integral part of the Jeffersonville Community for more than a century. Although we closed the Jeffboat shipbuilding facility in 2018 due to tough economic times, we are excited about the redevelopment and repurposing of this site going forward,” said Mike Ellis, ACBL CEO. “We believe the end result will be a transformational waterfront mixed use space that ties into the other successes the City of Jeffersonville has completed on the waterfront and surrounding areas.”

“We have approximately one mile of prime real estate right here in Jeffersonville. The possibilities are limitless. We’re excited to team with ACBL to help develop a shared vision for this property,” said Mayor Mike Moore who noted that he looks forward to working with ACBL and having community engagement meetings to hear from residents during the master planning process. “There’s a rich history associated with Jeffboat in our city. But it’s now time to write the next chapter in that story and it starts with a plan to transfer the former shipyard into a catalyst for more growth and development in Jeffersonville.”

OHM Advisors is a national firm with an office in Jeffersonville. The firm has extensive experience in a diversity of large-scale, multifaceted waterfront redevelopment projects including the Riverfront Revitalization in Owensboro, Kentucky.

“To us, this is more than a project; it is an opportunity to collaboratively work with ACBL and the City to redefine and maximize the 80 acres of waterfront that is storied with deep history and fully matured to serve its next great use for a community,” said Rob Huckaby, Director of the Louisville Office for OHM Advisors. “Our team recognizes the great interest in this property and the need to balance the private sector economic needs of the property owner with that of the community interests. We look forward to putting forth a planning process that efficiently gathers public feedback to develop a market driven plan that makes sense.”

The Wheatley Group is a southern Indiana based advisory firm specializing in the conception, planning, and implementation of economic development and redevelopment initiatives. The firm’s expertise assists their clients in project planning, fiscal analysis, and execution, with a focus on specific action items that are critical to bringing community development projects to fruition.
