Pond River Enterprises LLC, a western Kentucky-based company, plans to open a distillery in Muhlenberg County's historic Graham School, Gov. Steve Beshear announced today.
The nearly $1.3 million investment will create 31 jobs.
"I applaud company leaders like those at Pond River Enterprises who recognize the importance of hometowns and giving back to their communities," said Gov. Beshear. "Not only will the location of the company rejuvenate a place rich with history, it will also attract visitors to the community as one of the next additions to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail Craft Tour."
