Churchill Downs Inc. announced May 30 that it will relocate the TwinSpires headquarters to Louisville from Mountain View, Calif., creating more than 70 high-tech jobs in Kentucky.
CDI is investing $2.2 million to build out the TwinSpires headquarters at its existing offices at 600 North Hurstbourne Parkway, totaling approximately 15,000 square feet in new office space. TwinSpires, a wholly owned division of CDI and the official mobile betting partner of Churchill Downs, currently employs more than 200 full time employees in the state.
CDI plans to hire an additional 25 TwinSpires employees before the end of the year, with salaries ranging between $75,000 and $110,000.
"Technology, specifically mobile, is the equine industry's fastest growing sector, and Churchill Downs is proud to pioneer the innovation and growth that's taking place," CDI chief executive officer Bill Carstanjen said. "Relocating the TwinSpires business to Louisville would not be possible without the leadership of Gov. (Matt) Bevin and the work he has done to make Kentucky more business-friendly."
"Today, we are proud to welcome TwinSpires and new, high-tech, high-paying jobs to Kentucky. Churchill Downs' decision to bring a technology-focused headquarters to our state sends a strong signal to other businesses about the quality of our workforce and their potential for growth and success in Kentucky," Gov. Bevin added.
