MONTGOMERY | A state grant will help an automotive supplier create 200 new jobs with an expansion in Lowndes County.

Gov. Robert Bentley is awarding a $600,000 grant to the city of Fort Deposit so the town can purchase a 180,000-square-foot building.

The building will become a second location for Chowel Weldparts Inc. The company makes impact beams for vehicles produced at the Hyundai plant near Montgomery.

Chowel Weldparts will continue operations at a plant that employs 115 people in Luverne.

The building that's being used in Fort Deposit is the former location of a sign company in the city's industrial park. Another Hyundai supplier already employs 300 people in the city.
