Rack-It to open plant in Albany, create 25 jobs California-based truck rack producer Rack-It is establishing a new Clinton County location to better serve customers in Eastern US. The Albany, KY location should create 25 full-time jobs. By Nicole Burton/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin today announced Rack-It Truck Racks Inc., a utility truck rack manufacturer with operations in California, will invest more than $1.35 million and create 25 full-time jobs to establish a location in Clinton County, KY. Rack-It leaders plan to purchase, upgrade and build out from an existing 37,000-square-foot facility on Fairgrounds Road in Albany. The project includes installing a square tube production line to manufacture heavy duty truck racks. Additional product lines could be added in the future. Company leaders noted the location's proximity to major markets in Louisville, Nashville and Knoxville, as well as the people they met in the Clinton County community as deciding factors. A downturn in the region's houseboat industry left an available workforce with welding and manufacturing skills, a particular draw for Rack-It. The company also will create opportunities for powder coating, delivery and administrative jobs. Construction could begin this month with the facility fully operational by January 2019.

Farm Safety Week is September 16-22, 2018 With Farm Safety and Health Week in September, farmers, motorists should take extra care. 13 Kentuckians Died in Farming and Related Industries in Kentucky in 2017. Frankfort, KY - Farmers put their health, and even their lives, on the line to provide the food and fiber we all depend on, Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said in proclaiming the week of Sept. 16-22 as Farm Safety and Health Week. "Farmers encounter many hazards in their work from machinery, livestock, chemicals, extreme weather, and other factors," Commissioner Quarles said. "A death or injury on the farm is a tragedy in itself, but it also can disrupt the operation and even result in the loss of the farm. I encourage all Kentucky farmers and farm workers to put safety first at all times during Farm Safety and Health Week and all year long." Commissioner Quarles pointed out that some farmers must move large, heavy machinery on the roadways, especially during peak harvest season in the fall, and he urged Kentucky motorists to take extra care when encountering a tractor, combine, or other farm implement.

September is National Preparedness Month By Barbara Fox/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - With Hurricane Florence upsetting infrastructure on the East Coast, Kentucky's Department for Public Health thinks it's a good time to remind residents that every family should have a plan for unexpected occurrences. The Department for Public Health (DPH), within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), has launched the First 72 On You information campaign during the month of September - National Preparedness Month (NPM), to increase emergency preparedness efforts for Kentuckians and their families. "Some disasters come with warning and others with little or no warning," said Dr. Jeffrey Howard, DPH commissioner. "In the aftermath, communities can be left without safety, security, food and shelter. We are urging everyone to have a plan for self-sufficiency for at least 72 hours because this is the timeframe after a disaster that is critical to surviving through a serious crisis. Families should prepare today - know your hazards, assemble supplies and practice what to do in case a disaster strikes." These four steps can help prepare for emergencies and disasters: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2018-09-14 06:02:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky
