U.S.-based defense contractor and industrial company Raytheon announced the expansion of its plant in Scott County which will create more opportunities for job seekers.
Raytheon plans for a new 50,000 square foot facility will impact Mississippi and the security of the nation. Raytheon is investing $100 million in the construction of the Navy’s next-generation SPY-6 air and missile defense system.
The defense of the U.S. Navy is being built in Forest, Mississippi, meaning more jobs for Mississippians through the expansion of the company's Radar Production facility on Highway 80 in Forest.
The construction on the Raytheon radar production facility is expected to take 18 months and is slated for completion in early 2020.
