MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky manufacturing plant has expanded its facility by five times and expects to create 100 full-time jobs in coming years. Rajant Corp. has been in business for 20 years and in Morehead since 2015. The company announced last year it was moving to a larger facility nearby. Gov. Andy Beshear’s office says the project was originally expected to increase jobs by 26, but that has been revised to 100. The company currently has 24 employees in Rowan County, including designers, engineers, service technicians and assemblers. Rajant develops dozens of products and technologies leveraging the company’s patented InstaMesh networking software.
