...and what is the ROI for this $5 million?

Well, companies often invest in schools in locations where they have large operations in order to build good will in the community and help develop well educated leaders with a positive view of that company. Improves the potential employee pool.

Anyone know if UPS has any sizeable operation in or around Louisville?

We all know this is PR stunt to say look what we did, or to grease some palms for some favor down the road. It's like the line in the devil's advocate" Are we negotiating, always".
