by Breitbart Tech 12 May 2017
FRANKFORT, Ky.
(AP) — Apple says it will give $200
million to Corning Inc. so it can
invest in a Kentucky plant that makes glass
screens for iPhones and iPads.
The California-based company says the money will come
from its Advanced Manufacturing Fund. It has pledged to spend $1 billion on
US-based companies to create “innovative production and highly skilled jobs.”
Corning has had a facility in Harrodsburg for 65 years.
The company has collaborated with Apple for the past 10 years by making
scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass for Apple’s products. The companies say their
partnership has sustained 1,000 jobs, including 400 in Harrodsburg.
Apple Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams, Corning CEO Wendell Weeks,
and U.S.
Sen. Mitch McConnell are scheduled to formally announce the spending
during a 2 p.m. news conference in Harrodsburg.
