ROANOKE COUNTY (WSLS 10) - 

Apptech Solutions, LLC announced Thursday plans to expand into a 27,000 sq. ft. facility, ultimately adding more than 100 new jobs to the area over a three year period. 

The facility is located at 3993 Daugherty Road in Roanoke County. Officials with Apptech said they worked with the county to identify a suitable facility to accommodate its operations.

Apptech Solutions, LLC said they were assisted by the Virginia Jobs Investment Program (VJIP) of the Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) with a $78,000 grant to support their recruiting and workforce training needs. 

"Apptech is a local entrepreneurial success story that dramatizes the growth in manufacturing in the Roanoke region. Their continued investment here speaks to the strong economic climate and business support network available in Roanoke," said Jill Loope Director of Economic Development for Roanoke County, in a written statement, released on Thursday.
