LOUISVILLE—The Opus Group has become one of the most active industrial developers in the Midwest, and yesterday company officials said they were ready to launch River Ridge Commerce Center just north of Louisville Douglas J. Swain , vice president and general manager, Opus Development Co., LLC , told GlobeSt.com. The region is home to the UPS Worldport Air Hub for example, as well as the Ford Motor Co. and many of its parts suppliers. And since much of the land on the Louisville side is unsuitable, either due to a lack of available spaces or difficult terrain, Opus looked north to Jeffersonville and the River Ridge development. “You have already got a solid base of users there and institutional ownership.” Swain expects a lot more activity in that area. Several billion dollars was recently spent improving both roads and bridges in the area, including a new bridge for I-65, the major interstate in the area, spanning the Ohio River. “That will increase the connections to the Louisville market in general.” “It's a great project and I am sure it won't be our last in Louisville,” said Swain.
