A company that makes glass doors will create 100 full-time jobs when it opens its manufacturing plant in western Kentucky.

Glass Door Solutions LLC is a new company that plans to lease a facility in Elkton in Todd County with an investment of $3.5 million.

The state has given preliminary approval to tax incentives of up to $1.95 million for the project.

Gov. Steve Beshear helped announce the plan on Monday.

Beshear's office said Glass Door Solutions will make glass doors for display cases in grocery and convenience stores.

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail is expanding to include a small distillery that's tucked in the shadows of skyscrapers in downtown Louisville.

Heaven Hill Distilleries' new distillery will become the eighth stop on the popular tourist attraction that has drawn more than 2.5 million visitors in the past five years.

Mayor Greg Fischer said Thursday that bringing the Bourbon Trail to Louisville will enhance the city's bourbon tourism efforts.

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail takes visitors to several rural and rustic settings to visit the places where iconic bourbons such as Maker's Mark, Wild Turkey, and Woodford Reserve are crafted.

Kentucky is home to 95 percent of the world's bourbon production.
