I live there and while I know people who used to work there and have friends of friends who do work there it’s not considered a major player in my mind. Toyota leaving would be a much bigger deal and we have a decent number of local tech jobs not to mention remote work from elsewhere.

That’s not to say I don’t care or am happy they got bought but Lexmark has been circling the drain for a solid decade.

Lexington, Kentucky will not be “devastated” by this at all. I doubt Lexmark is even in the top 10 of businesses people would name for being big players in Lexington.
