Bowling Green-based Halton Group Americas has created an internship program with Western Kentucky University to promote economic development in Scott County, where it operates a manufacturing plant that produces kitchen ventilation systems for restaurants.
Halton has put up $50,000, which will be matched through Kentucky’s Regional University Excellence Trust Fund, to create the Halton Fund for Economic Development in Allen County. Once it is fully funded, income from $100,000 endowment will be instrumental in the start-up of the Allen County Small Business Accelerator and will solely benefit Allen County’s economic development by assisting business and industry in Allen County.
The facility is expected to open this coming spring.
