A Licking County company says it will hire 250 new workers after winning a 93-million dollar contract from the U.S. Army. Hebron-based ArmorSource will manufacture a new lightweight combat helmet. The workers will be hired next year. In 2010, the Army recalled 44 thousand helmets made by the company amid concerns they offered substandard protection.
