FORT MILL -- Lauth Property Group announced Tuesday that Ross Dress for Less will move into Transpoint One in Transpoint Business Park in Fort Mill.

Ross operates a 1 million-plus square-foot distribution center at U.S. 21 and Flint Hill Road. The new building will allow it to consolidate from other leased facilities.

Charles Hailey, an instructor at Applied Technical Center in Rock Hill, recently attended a three-day continuing education workshop in Chicago for building trades instructors.

The workshop was conducted by USG and SkillsUSA. Hailey's session was held at the USG Research and Technology Innovation Center. The program focused on drywall installation and finishing skills.

Earthlink to cut about half of work force

ATLANTA -- Internet service provider EarthLink said Tuesday that it would cut 900 jobs -- or about half its work force.

The company is struggling to generate revenues as dial-up access customers turn to high-speed alternatives from cable and phone companies.

More actions could be announced by the year's end but no more cuts are expected, said Rolla Huff, the Atlanta-based company's president and chief executive. As part of the plan, EarthLink also said it will repurchase $200 million of its stock.
