SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP)- A company that repairs and maintains
utility lines is moving its headquarters from North Carolina to South Carolina.

Regional Utility Services Inc. says it expects to create more than 200 jobs at its new facility in Chesnee in the next several years. The firm is currently located in Mooresboro, N.C.

The 3-year-old company's customers include Duke Power and Progress Energy, as well as steel and machinery companies.

Regional Utility Services President Robert Daniel Cothran says the move will put his company in an area central to all its clients.
