CAMDEN — A groundbreaking ceremony has been held for the expansion of Aerojet Rocketdyne's plant in Camden in south Arkansas.
The California-based company was joined by Gov. Asa Hutchinson and state and local officials for Thursday's ceremony.
The project includes new buildings and renovations on the 1,200-acre site and 85 new jobs. The cost of the project was not released; however, it is supported with incentives that include funding, tax exemptions, real estate tax grants and reimbursement for training.
The plant produces solid rocket motors used in the defense industry.
