On behalf of the Elizabethtown/Hardin County Industrial Foundation, welcome to our site.

Please visit the "Available Sites" section to view our shovel-ready sites in the TJ Patterson Industrial Park in Elizabethtown. We are also proud to offer a 1551 acre CSX Certified Megasite in Glendale just six miles south of Elizabethtown on I-65. This site received CSX certification by McCallum Sweeney in April of 2010.

Elizabethtown is the seat of government for Hardin County, one of the larger counties in Kentucky with a population of over 105,000. Additionally, the Elizabethtown Metropolitan Statistical Area has a population of approximately 120,000. There are many businesses and a diverse industrial base that call the Hardin County area home. It is also home to the military installation at Fort Knox which is currently expanding due to transformation activities that include the relocation of the Army's HR Command, the US Cadet Command and the 84th Army Reserve Region Training Center.

A keen understanding of the special needs of industry and a cooperative spirit between business, industry and government - as well as the vision that with careful planning, a superb place to do business can also be a quality place to live - has enabled Elizabethtown/Hardin County to successfully attract and retain quality industries from around the world.

With sites available from 2 to 1551 acres, we have a location just right for your company.

Please take a few minutes to view our videos, browse our website and feel free to contact us at anytime for additional information.

Richard A. "Rick" Games
President & COO
