Legacy Metals invests $1.2 million to expand Christian County facility

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. — Legacy Metals LLC, a building materials supplier and manufacturer, will grow its current operation with a 24,000-square-foot expansion that will create 100 well-paying jobs for local residents.

The $1.2 million projects in Hopkinsville will include a new 12,000-square-foot facility that will house two manufacturing lines to develop and trim roofing and siding panels. A separate 12,000-square-foot warehouse will also be added to provide room for inventory and further expansion.

Legacy Metals is a family-owned company founded in 2017 that specializes in custom-length metal siding and roofing and offers a full-service lumberyard, metal and wood trusses and custom building packages. Starting with just two employees, the company has grown to employ over 26 Kentucky residents in the Hopkinsville area. Additionally, as a building materials supplier, the company facilitates local projects to be constructed through independent contractors, indirectly employing over 120 individuals over the last five years.

The new Legacy Metals operation will add to the state’s 230-plus metals-related facilities, which employ approximately 25,000 Kentuckians. In 2021 alone, Kentucky’s metals industry spurred approximately $975 million in planned investment and more than 1,700 expected new jobs for Kentucky residents.

Legacy Metals’ investment and planned job creation further recent economic momentum in the commonwealth, as the state builds back stronger from the effects of the pandemic.

Site Selection magazine’s annual Governor’s Cup rankings for 2021 recently placed Kentucky atop the South Central region, and third nationally, for qualifying projects per capita.

To encourage investment and job growth in the community, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) last Thursday preliminarily approved a 15-year incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based agreement can provide up to $1 million in tax incentives based on the company’s investment of $1.2 million and annual targets of:

• Creation and maintenance of 100 Kentucky-resident, full-time jobs across 15 years; and
• Paying an average hourly wage of $17 including benefits across those jobs.

By meeting its annual targets over the agreement term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eligible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments.

In addition, Legacy Metals LLC can receive resources from Kentucky’s workforce service providers. These include no-cost recruitment and job placement services, reduced-cost customized training and job training incentives.

Local Company’s Success Sparks Name Change 

Legacy Metals, LLC of Hopkinsville Kentucky plans to adopt the original family brand and logo soon.

Hopkinsville, Kentucky - March 3, 2025 - Legacy Metals began operations in 2017 as a joint venture of brothers including Lewis, Matt, and Derek Stoll, and was modeled after the family business, Summertown Metals of Summertown, Tennessee.

Summertown Metals was established by their father, John Stoll, over 19 years ago and is currently owned and operated by brothers Matt and Derek Stoll, with locations in Summertown, Tennessee, Hayden, Alabama, and Morristown, Tennessee.

Summertown Metals is widely recognized in Tennessee and surrounding states as the premier builder of barndominium homes, post frame buildings, and other structures featuring metal siding and roofs, completing 6,000 structures yearly. The company’s manufacturing operations include metal siding and trim, wood trusses, and steel trusses, while its retail operations provide a variety of building materials.

Legacy Metals, with similar operations and business model, has grown rapidly, completing just shy of 1000 structures across Kentucky and surrounding states in the past year alone.

Lewis Stoll, CEO of Legacy Metals states that “The success of both ventures has created a unique problem of market overlap, so now we appear to the public to be two competing companies, when we are actually one family.”

Over the course of 2025 Legacy Metals will be shifting ownership and adopting the Summertown Metals brand and operate as Summertown Metals of Hopkinsville.

Matt Stoll, owner at both facilities says: “The team at Hopkinsville has done a great job. Expansion plans are already underway at the Hopkinsville location to support the growth. There will be a visual shift, but the commitment our family and the team have to developing and providing the highest quality products and services will always stay the same.”

The company is excited to be able to further expand operations in Hopkinsville by fully combining resources and buying power, which will result in new jobs, services, and better prices for customers.

About Legacy Metals: Legacy Metals has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality materials and exceptional customer service. With years of industry experience, Legacy Metals has been a trusted name known for its commitment to reliability, innovation, and craftsmanship. Now, as part of Summertown Metals, Legacy Metals’ legacy of quality and service continues, backed by the strength and reach of an industry powerhouse.
