FRANKFORT, Ky. — Global animal nutrition company Alltech, headquartered in Nicholasville, Ky., will become the first occupant on the new Marion Branch industrial site in Pikeville, Ky., with plans to develop an aquaculture and poultry layer facility.
The project incorporates objectives of the Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) initiative, begun by Governor Steve Beshear and U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers in late 2013 to revitalize the struggling economy in eastern Kentucky counties.
The initiative falls in line with the company's core business in animal nutrition, implementing its sustainable and natural solutions designed to help farmers feed a rapidly growing world. . .
