The Elizabethtown-Hardin County Industrial Foundation (EHCIF) announced Thursday the release of the “Life in Elizabethtown, Kentucky” video series, which showcases the quality of life Elizabethtown area residents enjoy. The series not only serves as a business recruitment tool for the foundation, but also is available to enhance any local business’ talent recruitment efforts.

Elizabethtown and Hardin County’s attractiveness to current and future residents promotes job creation. Existing and prospective companies – from start-ups to large manufacturers – value desirable, vibrant communities because that’s where the qualified workforce they need to recruit and retain wants to live and work.

“We have quality schools, great neighborhoods, advanced healthcare and a growing list of shopping and dining options,” said Rick Games, the foundation’s president and COO. “That’s a story we have to tell, and this video series helps us tell it in a very compelling way.”

“Life in Elizabethtown, Kentucky” includes videos highlighting each of the following as well as a capstone video:

Vibrant Economy
Healthcare
Education
Entertainment
Central Location
Shopping and Dining
Recreation
Neighborhoods and Communities

The foundation encourages area employers to leverage the videos in their recruitment efforts. Videos are available at eifky.org and YouTube. Web banners also are available for organizations interested in linking to the videos online.

“Helping existing companies grow is critical to the foundation’s mission of creating jobs, and we’re excited to offer the video series to companies in our industrial parks and throughout our community,” EHCIF Board of Directors Chairman Greg Jenkins said.

“The reality is the most qualified workers can pick and choose where they live and work,” Games added. “Our goal is to equip businesses to show prospective employees why they should choose Elizabethtown and Hardin County.”
