肯塔基州富兰克林县：日清国际运输投资1430万美元新建配送中心，创造30个就业岗位
肯塔基州州长 Andy Beshear 10月29日在首府 Frankfort 宣布，全球物流企业日清国际运输美国公司（Nissin International Transport U.S.A.）将在肯塔基州富兰克林县新建一座配送中心，投资1430万美元，创造30个就业岗位。新设施选址 Franklin County Industrial Park 3（临 US 60 与 Duncan Road），是该公司在肯塔基州的首个运营点，将成为其在该州的物流基地，主要为丰田关联供应商的生产活动提供仓储、堆场存储、拆包、组装支持等增值物流服务。
「肯塔基州蓬勃的经济，得益于我们出色的劳动力、支柱产业，以及对企业友好的环境——这里是任何企业新设运营点的理想之地，」贝希尔说。「我很高兴看到30个新岗位来到富兰克林县，为勤劳的肯塔基家庭带来机会。」
日清国际运输美国公司是日本东京日清株式会社（Nissin Corporation）的全资子公司；日清株式会社1938年以国内港内运输起家，1973年在美国设立运营，现于全球23个国家拥有400多处网点、200座仓库，员工逾2000人。富兰克林县县长法官（Judge/Executive）Michael Mueller 与 Frankfort 市长 Layne Wilkerson 均对项目表示欢迎。
为鼓励投资，肯塔基州经济发展金融管理局（KEDFA）今年9月已初步批准一项为期10年的《肯塔基商业投资计划》激励协议：若公司实现1430万美元投资、10年内创造并维持30个肯塔基居民全职岗位、且平均时薪（含福利）达到30美元，可获得最高50万美元的绩效型税收激励。
Nissin International Transport to Locate Distribution Center in Franklin County, Kentucky, With $14.3 Million Investment and 30 Jobs
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced in Frankfort on October 29 that Nissin International Transport U.S.A., a global logistics company specializing in air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage and warehousing, will locate a new distribution center in Franklin County, Kentucky — a $14.3 million investment creating 30 jobs. The facility, at Franklin County Industrial Park 3 off US 60 and Duncan Road in the Frankfort area, will be the company's first operation in Kentucky and will establish its logistics base in the commonwealth, primarily supporting the production activities of Toyota-affiliated suppliers with warehousing, depot storage, unpacking, assembly support, and other value-added logistics services.
"Kentucky's surging economy is powered by our incredible workforce, our key industries, and our business-friendly environment that makes us an ideal location for any company looking to locate a new operation," Beshear said. "I am excited to see 30 new jobs coming to Franklin County and the opportunities they provide for our hard-working Kentuckians and their families."
Nissin International Transport U.S.A. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nissin Corporation of Tokyo, Japan, founded in 1938 as a domestic in-harbor transport company. The Nissin Group established U.S. operations in 1973 and now operates a global network of over 400 locations and 200 warehouses in 23 countries, employing more than 2,000 workers. Franklin County Judge/Executive Michael Mueller and Frankfort Mayor Layne Wilkerson both welcomed the project.
To encourage the investment, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) in September preliminarily approved a 10-year incentive agreement under the Kentucky Business Investment program, which can provide up to $500,000 in performance-based tax incentives tied to the company's $14.3 million investment, the creation and maintenance of 30 full-time jobs for Kentucky residents over 10 years, and an average hourly wage of $30 including benefits.
