State incentives are in the works for two local manufacturers looking to expand and further develop their products. Both Briggs and Stratton and Vanderbilt Chemical were named by the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority for state incentives.
Rodney Bohannon, plant manager of the Murray Kentucky Briggs and Stratton plant, said while nothing is concrete, the company is looking into future options that would involve state incentive funds.
“What we are trying to do is to sustain our manufacturing processes in Murray for the future and one way to do that is to look at some project opportunities,” he said.
While he said he could not get specific yet, Bohannon said it involved retooling operations at the plant to sustain employment levels and the company's markets for the future. He said he hoped to have more details about it in the summer months.
