LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The New York Blower Company will open in Leitchfield, creating 125 jobs.

The industrial fan and ventilation systems manufacturer is buying an existing facility and pumping nearly $5 million into it.

Company officials say they chose the location over other cities across the country because Leitchfield and Kentucky did so much to attract the business.
