Councilman Richard Foley noted during the meeting that he heard Senture was shutting down the Williamsburg facility, which is located at Cumberland Regional Mall, and inquired if the rumors were true. Mayor Roddy Harrison said that he has spoken with a someone, who confirmed to him that the facility would be closing in March 2022. Given that employment at Senture varies between about 250 \u2013 400 people at the Williamsburg facility depending on what contracts the company has at any given time, this is sort of a big deal for Williamsburg. When company officials were contacted about the matter Tuesday afternoon, they gave a somewhat different response to the rumors. \u201cOur experience with Williamsburg, Kentucky, has been a positive one, and we plan to continue to be an active employer and member of the Williamsburg community even though a decision has been made not to renew our lease for our mall location,\u201d Senture\u2019s Director of Human Resources Vicki Blair wrote in a statement to the News Journal. \u201cWith many of the changes made since the pandemic, many of our clients have allowed our employees to work from the safety and convenience of their homes.\u00a0Currently we only have 30 employees working at the facility, but we have over 300 employees working from their homes in Whitley County. We have no plans to stop at this number as we continue to grow our business.\u00a0These employees are paying the local and occupational taxes and continue to support your community just as though they were onsite.\u00a0Again, we plan to be a very visible and active employer in the Williamsburg and Whitley County community.\u201d Harrison added Monday night that he has also heard another group is already touring the Senture facility, so he is hopeful that the building won\u2019t sit empty for long."}
