# R/S-Godwin Expands Floyd County Manufacturing

R/S-Godwin Truck Body Co. plans to invest $17.28 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Floyd County, Kentucky, and create 65 full-time jobs. In April 2026, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved performance-based incentives of up to $2.1 million through the Kentucky Business Investment program and up to $150,000 through the Kentucky Enterprise Initiative Act; workforce recruitment and training support may also be available. This is an economic-development announcement, not a government solicitation or contract award.

- The incentives are tied to the company’s expansion and, for the Kentucky Business Investment program, performance targets; the preliminary approval should not be treated as a finalized procurement award.
- Manufacturers and suppliers serving truck-body production may assess whether the expanded operation could create relevant supply-chain or workforce demand. The announcement does not identify specific purchase requirements or solicitations.
- Organizations evaluating Kentucky manufacturing investments can note the state’s use of performance-based incentives and potential recruitment and training assistance as components of its economic-development support.
