Shelbyville council unanimously approves 10-year tax inducement for Bluegrass Roller Service
Summary
The Shelbyville City Council voted Jan. 15 to approve a resolution under the Kentucky Investment Act reducing the local occupational tax to 1% for 10 years for Bluegrass Roller Service employees hired beyond the company's original 26 employees.
The Shelbyville City Council on Jan. 15 approved Resolution 2026-01-15, granting an inducement to Bluegrass Roller Service, Inc., under the Kentucky Investment Act (KRS Chapter 154.32) that reduces the city's local occupational tax to 1% for a 10-year period for any employees beyond the company's original 26 employees.
City Attorney Steven Gregory read a summary of the resolution during the meeting. Councilmember Frank Page moved to approve the inducement and Councilmember Georgina Ivers seconded. The minutes record that all council members voted "aye" and the motion carried.
The resolution uses the Kentucky Investment Act as its legal basis; the council did not include further details in the published minutes about projected job counts, estimated new payroll, or any fiscal impact analysis. The minutes state the 1% local occupational-tax rate applies only to employees beyond the original 26, but provide no numeric estimate of how many new employees the inducement is expected to affect.
Council members did not request or record substantive debate in the minutes. The action was recorded as approved; the council moved on to other business afterward.
