LEXINGTON, NEB. — BD Construction has broken ground on a 115,000-square-foot manufacturing facility for Orthman Manufacturing in Lexington. Orthman, a firm that produces heavy duty agricultural equipment, plans to hire an additional 100 employees. The new building will operate alongside the company's existing facility in northeast Lexington. Once the facility is completed in 2013, the company will move some of its operations to the new site. Orthman is receiving funding assistance on the project through the Nebraska Advantage Act, which offers tax incentives for companies willing to expand and create new jobs.
