BlueOval SK laid off all 1,600 workers at its Hardin County battery plant. Kentucky invested $250 million in taxpayer money for the plant's infrastructure. Hardin County also spent $1.6 million in federal relief funds. The layoffs caused the county to lose an estimated $100,000 to $200,000 in occupational tax revenue. County leaders now face a tight budget for the upcoming fiscal year.
