Gracious Living, a Canadian-based manufacturer and distributor of resin consumer products, is expanding its Butler County operations.
The company, which was established in 1980, began its Morgantown operation in 2023.
The nearly $9.8 million investment will allow the company to expand its operations to manufacture patio furniture, storage containers and shelving.
“We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to expand in a state with hard-working citizens and a supportive government stance on economic growth,” said Charles Kida, Vice President of Finance at Gracious Living. “The Morgantown site offers an ideal location due to its strategic position for distribution. Gracious Living looks forward to establishing its first presence in the United States through this expansion initiative. This move represents a significant step in the company’s growth strategy.”
Products made by Gracious Living range from outdoor trash and recycling cans to laundry baskets to Adirondack chairs.
The investment will create 50 new, full-time jobs for the region.
“The momentum we are experiencing across the commonwealth is not possible without growth from our largest industry,” said Governor Andy Beshear. “Manufacturing has long been essential to Kentucky’s economy, and with continued investment from companies like Gracious Living KY, we are setting up the state for long-term success. I want to thank the leaders at Gracious Living for their continued commitment to the commonwealth, and I look forward to seeing the company’s success in Morgantown.”
The expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
