The Marshall County Council has approved tax abatement for a manufacturer's expansion plans. Faulkner Fabricating Inc. is looking to invest more than $1.5 million to upgrade its building and equipment and add a small number of jobs.

Faulkner supplies components including production and shipping racks to the automotive, coal mining and window industries.

The company's plans would almost double its facility space and add five positions to its work force, bringing the total to 39. Faulkner says the growth is necessary to meet the growing demand of its customers. The project represents one of its largest investments since establishing operations in Marshall County.
