A new company that manufactures flooring lumber and parts has announced plans to locate its operations in the former Bluegrass Cooperage plant in Clinton County, which closed in 2008. New World Flooring is investing more than $3 million to reopen the existing 28,000-s.f. facility, which includes a sawmill, barrel stave operation and dry kilns that will be reconfigured to begin sawing premium lumber for the flooring industry. A second phase of the project will include the construction of a 12,000-s.f. plant to produce engineered flooring parts. The company expects to hire approximately 30 full-time workers to staff the plant.
