Spindale, NC - The Rutherford County Economic Development Commission is pleased to announce that Ameridial, Inc. held their ribbon cutting event at their new call center facility in Spindale, NC at 10:30 am on Thursday. News of their expansion was announced in May of this year and included the acquisition and remodeling of an available vacant building in Spindale. This existing industry expansion was made possible, in part, by a North Carolina Department of Commerce Building Reuse Grant in the amount of $290,000 awarded to Rutherford County. Rutherford County has provided the required 5% match for this grant.

With the second expansion announced in May 2014, the company retained 160 existing positions and has committed to create 100 new jobs within the growing call center over the next two years.
