What this means when you scope a building

  • Distribution centers near the airport need ride-on scrubbing, dock sweeping, and high dusting on a calendar that fits around shift changes.
  • Manufacturing employs 86,832 people in the region, and plant locker rooms and break areas take heavier use than office restrooms.
  • Sites in Clark and Floyd counties across the river in Indiana can often share routes with downtown Louisville when bridge traffic allows.
  • Health care is the largest employing sector here, and medical suites should keep clinical rooms on a separate task list from admin space.
