A new business arrival in Henry County is expected to result in 120 new jobs and a $35 million investment in the community.

Kampack, based in Newark and a division of National Packaging Group, announced Dec. 15 that it is planning to relocate its company headquarters and expand its operations with a new manufacturing facility in the King Mill Distribution industrial just off Hwy. 42 between McDonough and Locust Grove.
