LEXINGTON, Ky. – More than 200 new jobs are coming to Fayette County. Allconnect Inc, an Atlanta-based company, announced Wednesday plans to open a customer service call center in Lexington.

A release from Governor Steve Beshear's office says the company is making a nearly 7 million dollar investment to open a facility at Coldstream Research Park by this summer. Allconnect plans to hire up to 220 employees to assist customers in transferring satellite, cable, Internet, and phone services.

The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority approved Allconnect for up to $2.2 million in state tax incentives.
