Grants totaling more than
$2 million have been awarded to support the expansion of an eastern Kentucky aluminum products manufacturer, Gov. Andy Beshear said.
The project is expected to create 50 additional jobs, he said.
The funds will help Dajcor Aluminum add a production line at its Hazard plant, Beshear said Tuesday. The company produces extruded and fabricated aluminum products.
The money was awarded to Perry County Fiscal Court, which applied for the grants to support Dajcorâs expansion, the governorâs office said.
âThis expansion will enhance our strong advanced manufacturing industry, while creating good jobs for eastern Kentuckians and bolstering the wider economy as we work to build back stronger following COVID-19,â Beshear said.

TAYLORSVILLE, Ky. (AP) A Kentucky school superintendent has been placed on administrative leave following a lawsuit that accuses him of sexual harassment, according to published reports.
The Spencer County School Board voted 4-0 Monday to place Superintendent Chuck Adams on paid leave as it investigates allegations a teacher made in the lawsuit, news outlets reported.
Adams declined to comment on the allegations and told WDRB-TV in a message that the board s decision “is simply protocol in situations such as this.”
“I look forward to returning soon,” he said.
Attorney Thomas Clay filed the lawsuit last week in Spencer Circuit Court on behalf of the teacher. It cites multiple examples of alleged harassment and says the teacher complained to superiors but did not get any relief.
