CONOVER, N.C. — Utili-Serve LLC will invest more than $24.8 million to expand its headquarters and build a new facility in Conover, creating 105 jobs.

The company, founded in Conover in 2008, builds and maintains electrical substations, services transformers and manufactures protective relay panels, with 30 construction crews across the Southeast. The Catawba County site will become a regional hub for project management, manufacturing and logistics, and will add field control equipment production. New jobs will pay an average of $62,400 a year, above the county average of $56,937. A $250,000 One North Carolina Fund grant is tied to hitting job and investment targets. Gov. Josh Stein announced the project Oct. 14.
