Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear joined company officials and local leaders at a ribbon-cutting ceremony today for the $95.8 million expansion of the ZF Steering Systems facility here. Beshear called the project a collaborative effort to keep a major supplier for the automobile industry in the state. "The expansion of ZF Steering is an excellent example of how state and local government, community representatives and the private sector all worked together to create a strong partnership to create jobs and investment in the Commonwealth," Beshear said. "I couldn’t be more pleased to see this project become a reality and to know that global companies such as ZF Steering continue to display their confidence in the Commonwealth by creating jobs and making long-term investments."  Read the full story here.
