Assisted Transportation Systems continues to grow in Green River Commerce Park, with the application of a $70,000 paving project at the plant on Development Drive this week.

ATS has benefited, he says, by the desire of skilled Adair County workers to come off the road, where they earned higher pay, to accept the $25 per hour jobs that skilled welders have, so they could spend more time with their families in an unspoiled community they love so much.
