A highlight of the 2014 Morgantown-Butler County Chamber of Commerce annual dinner Tuesday night was that of Judge David Fields explaining the events leading up to the decision to locate Corvac in Morgantown. Then Kentucky Senator Brett Guthrie was approached by Corvac, who had a need for a building in the area.  “Congressman Guthrie told them ‘I know where one is,’” said Fields adding, “Its been a perfect fit for Butler County.” Corvac is the recipient of the 2014 Outstanding Industrial Business of the Year as chosen by the Chamber.
