Indiana-based Wabash National Corporation, a manufacturer of semi trailers, will build a new facility in Franklin, Kentucky. The $26 million investment is expected to create 460 new full-time jobs within two years of completion.

The company plans to purchase 60 acres in an industrial park and construct a 300,000-square-foot building. According to the Kentucky governor's office, Wabash National will receive up to $4 million in tax benefits as part of the deal.
