An automotive supplier in Christian County is expanding operations and increasing its workforce by a third.
Douglas Autotech Corporation plans to create 115 jobs over the next three years. The Hopkinsville plant opened in 1995 and has a current workforce of 230 people.
"The automotive industry is a key component of our economy, and Douglas Autotech adds to the strength and success of the industry in the state," said Governor Steve Beshear in a news release.
The company, which produces automotive controls and steering columns, is planning to invest more than $14 million in new equipment for the plant.
Douglas Autotech was preliminarily approved for up to $3 million in state tax incentives.
