Lexington has a surprising amount of employers, we should be fine. I doubt they're going to close the HQ anyway.

Did you know Tempur-Pedic is Lexington grown? Fast food chain fazolis is based here, long John silver's was. Valvoline moved here a long long time ago.

Hall Rogers is trying to make "silicon hallow" a thing so there's a lot of funding for tech companies to setup shop in Kentucky

Fazoli’s is still around? I don’t think I’ve seen one in 20 years

I have a Fazoli's and a Xerox facility within 20 minutes of where I sit. I'm unsure I should see that as sign of a healthy economic situation for my neighborhood.

Yep, land-locked Lexington, Kentucky, home of Long John Silvers though we don’t even have one in town anymore. The last one closed a few years ago.

But yes, a Lexmark sale won’t make a large impact even if they shut down the HQ. There are local and remote (obviously) opportunities and the CoL is low here.
