Senture Connect will expand its Monticello, Kentucky, contact center, creating up to 222 jobs in the coming months and investing more than $7.9 million. The company plans to lease a 26,675-square-foot facility for a call center that will receive and make calls for private industries and state and federal government agencies.

"Senture has a history of trying to provide good jobs and economic opportunity to the people of southeastern and eastern Kentucky," said Chris Deaton, president and CEO of Senture. "We are grateful for the support the Governor and the Congressman have provided in this effort and we are excited about the new opportunities this expansion allows."

The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority has preliminarily approved Senture Connect for state tax incentives up to $4.7 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program.
