SOMERSET, Ohio –– Rhodes Manufacturing, LLC announced Monday the expansion of its Somerset facility, creating 21 new jobs.
The expansion, in collaboration with JobsOhio, Ohio Southeast Economic Development, and Perry County Economic Development, includes the construction of a new building with a paint shop.
