Raytheon Missile Systems will be expanding their Louisville operation, which has been working since 1996, by adding 30 new full-time jobs. The company currently employs 335 full-time Kentuckians.

“These are good paying jobs that are coming along at the right time to give a boost to our economy. Another sign that slowly but surely we are moving toward recovery,” said Mayor Abramson.
