About 30 new full-time jobs are coming to Franklin, Kentucky with a new manufacturing facility.
Conveyor belt producer Smiley Monroe plans to create a new $2 million plant, according to Governor Matt Bevin’s office.
The company will lease a 63,000-square-foot building in Franklin to house the operation, where company leaders expect to begin production by January 2020.
Officials say following a significant increase in US sales the past several years, the company’s Kentucky operation will give it a location and distribution advantage for its growing customer base.
