Today, Gov. Andy Beshear joined local officials from Taylor County and leaders from INFAC North America, an automotive manufacturer that specializes in cables, antennas, horns, actuators and electric vehicle (EV) battery system assemblies, to break ground on the company’s expansion in Campbellsville, which will create 220 Kentucky jobs with an investment of at least $53 million.

Team Taylor County recently organized an industry roundtable with U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell. Attended by Taylor County businesses and community leaders, including Amazon, Manchester Tank, Ingersoll Rand, Frost-Arnett, Cox Interiors, Wholesale Hardwood Interiors, Murakami Manufacturing USA and more, the group discussed the challenges and opportunities facing businesses today.

The Kentucky Career Center – Cumberlands will co-host a Drive-Thru Job Fair on August 20, 2020, from 11 am – 1 pm ET at its Campbellsville location at 1311 East Broadway Street. Numerous Taylor County employers will be on site conducting interviews right from your vehicle.

As state and national guidelines allow for the re-opening of most business establishments, Taylor County businesses are proving their resilience and adaptability. With new health and safety standards in place, many employers are now able to bring back more of their workforce and ramp up production schedules. While not at 100 percent capacity, most manufacturers have around 80 percent of their original workforce back on site.
