U.S. Rep. James Comer came to Paducah on Friday to talk about workforce development and bringing skilled workers where their talents are needed within the state.

Comer took a tour of the Paducah Innovation Hub Friday morning. The facility will house several traditional technical center classes -- including carpentry, welding, automotive technology and electricity -- in addition to classes in computer-aided design, engineering, art and robotics. It also will house a gun range for Paducah Tilghman High School's Navy ROTC program and offices for the school district.
