Exploring & expressing grief
Support groups and events, as well as creative therapies and professional counseling, are all ways in which Pathways supports individuals dealing with grief and loss.
Sierra Nevada is a privately owned aerospace company headquartered in Sparks, Nevada. Its local employees develop satellites and work on the DreamChaser, a reusable spacecraft that would be privately owned and operated.
The space Sierra Nevada is considering is at 315 CTC Blvd., which formerly was occupied by Inovonics Wireless Corp. Sierra Nevada is planning to spend $2.2 million for core and shell improvements, and Louisville agreed to a $28,000 rebate on building fees and use taxes.
Sierra Nevada’s current Louisville facility is at 1722 Boxelder St. in the CTC.
Sierra Nevada said it will keep its current space and move work on the DreamChaser to the additional space, Louisville’s economic development director Aaron DeJong said.
