A firearms manufacturer is investing nearly $80 million to create almost 200 jobs in a move to expand in Rutherford County.

Gov. Bill Lee, Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc., and others announced the $76.4 million expansion of a new facility on the Manchester Hwy.

The estimated 250,000-square-foot Barrett Manufacturing & Technology Campus will bring 183 jobs and serve as the company’s global manufacturing site. The facility is planned to open in early 2027.
