KENTUCKY...
A well-known gun maker is expanding its western Kentucky plant, doubling the work force.

The governor's office said the new construction is a $5 million investment in Graves County over the next three years. Remington officials said they will move some rifle production from Connecticut to Hickory and add 100 jobs.
