The South Western Kentucky Economic Development Council is celebrating the announcement of 30 new jobs coming to Trigg County with Canadian company Load Covering Solutions to construct a $2 million plant in the Interstate 24 Business Park.
Load Covering Solutions is a producer and distributor of tarp systems for commercial trucks and trailers and plans to build a 12,000-square-foot manufacturing and installation shop that will include production, assembly, service and repair of its retractable tarp systems.
The new facility also will house sales and marketing personnel.
EDC Director Carter Hendricks says the family who owns the company has Trigg County connections and they’re excited about the region.
Company leaders anticipate beginning construction this fall and beginning operations by late summer 2022 and there could be additional growth in the future.
Trigg County Judge-Executive Hollis Alexander says, LCS will be “creating opportunity for our regional economy while establishing the first international company in the Interstate 24 Business Park.”
He says, “Trigg County is thankful that LCS chose our region to invest and is committed to supporting the company and its leaders, Brian and Linda Petelka, with an awesome quality of life in our award-winning community.”
