Lyons Magnus expanding northern Ky. plant; will invest $5 million, add 50 jobs

WALTON, Ky. (AP) -- A food-service company is expanding in northern Kentucky, adding 50 new jobs.

Gov. Steve Beshear's office says Lyons Magnus Inc. will invest $5 million for the expansion in Boone County, where it already has 120 employees.

The company will buy land to build a new facility for food processing, warehousing space and shipping and add a new production line at its existing operation.

The state has given preliminary approval for tax incentives of as much as $400,000 for the project.

Beshear's office announced the project Wednesday.

Lyons Magnus, which was founded in 1852, is headquartered in Fresno, Calif.
