Appriss Inc. headquarters to bring 200 'high-paying' jobs to Jeffersontown, Gov. Bevin says

A Louisville-based business is opening up a new headquarters in Jeffersontown, bringing 200 "high-paying" jobs to the area, according to a statement from Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin's office.

Appriss Inc., a data and analytics service, will invest more than $11 million to relocate its two Louisville buildings to Jeffersontown.

The new jobs are projected to pay an average hourly wage of nearly $40, according to the press release.

“We are excited to design and build out 105,000 square feet of space that will be transformational in how more than 400 of our local team members work,” Jeff Byal, chief financial officer for Appriss, said in a statement.

“We are making a significant investment in technology, facility build out and office furniture, as well as meeting and collaboration areas to align to how our teams work locally and with our other offices.”

“Its expansion and relocation will provide greater growth opportunities in the years ahead," Gov. Matt Bevin said in a statement. "We look forward to watching the new Appriss building go from conception to completion."

Appriss has been located in Louisville since 1994, the company currently employs 670 people in Louisville, Southern California, the United Kingdom and Poland.

“It’s an exciting day when a local business announces it is growing its high-wage jobs and expanding its services here in Louisville,” Mayor Greg Fischer said.
