As a historic community in step with the future, our
economy remains strong. Past business success has encouraged expansion
and attracted new business. Positive current momentum yields even greater
expectations for our future.
The Jefferson County unemployment rate is a low 4.4 percent. Wages are
competitive and com-parable with those offered elsewhere in the region.
Middletown’s assortment of business ranges from small, locally owned
shops to large chain stores, chain restaurants, national hotels/motels,
automobile dealerships, banks, doctors, lawyers, account-ants and other
professionals. Our family owned businesses prosper the economy.
Many businesses are attracted to Middletown because of the low tax rate
and the fact that businesses do not pay a Middletown Business License
or occupational tax. With a well-trained work force and more opportunity
close at hand in the large metropolitan area, owners should definitely
take a second look at our community when considering relocation.
Middletown Industrial Park offers economic development opportunities.
Financial services for new residents and business offered by Bank of Louisville,
Bank One, Commonwealth Bank, Fifth Third Bank of Kentucky, First Bank,
Firstar Bank, National City Bank-Middletown, PNC Bank, Republic Bank and
Trust and Stock Yards Bank and Trust Co. include checking and savings
accounts, CD and money market accounts, mortgage loans and investment
and trust services.

businesses.
