United Systems and Software Inc. turned the sod on its new $5.3 million headquarters in Marshall County Wednesday. Governor Matt Bevin joined state and local leaders congratulated the software and IT services provider on its expansion, which is expected to create 50 full-time jobs for Kentuckians.
The site of United’s planned 20,000-square-foot operations center and headquarters will be located in Benton’s Southwest One Industrial Park. Officials say company leaders expect the move to help increase production, bolster United’s services and fuel further growth. Officials anticipate completion of the facility by May 2020.
