the Danville/Boyle County Economic Development Partnership (EDP) presents to our Partners and

Boyle County’s industrial employment increased in Q4, and continued a growth trend since the end of Q2 on
June 30. Employment spiked at a local distribution center due to order fulfillment for the holiday season.
