# Kentucky Incentivizes Russellville Aluminum Plant

ClearFlow Metalworks plans a $28 million phased aluminum manufacturing operation at Shelton Lane Industrial Park in Russellville, Kentucky. The first phase is planned as a recycled-aluminum billet casting facility with approximately 100,000 tons of annual capacity and 50 full-time jobs. In June 2026, Kentucky preliminarily approved a performance-based, 15-year incentive agreement of up to $1,000,500, contingent on the company meeting investment, job, and wage targets. This is an economic-development announcement, not a procurement solicitation: no RFP, contract competition, or procurement contact is identified.

- The incentive is tied to ClearFlow’s investment and employment targets; the announced amount is a potential incentive, not a contract award for goods or services.
- Suppliers and contractors serving industrial manufacturing facilities may find the planned operation relevant to their market planning, but the signal does not identify specific purchasing requirements or solicitations.
- Companies evaluating Kentucky industrial investments can use the agreement as an example of a performance-based state incentive; the project is planned for Russellville and targets recycled-aluminum production.
