LEWISTON, Idaho (AP) -- A company based in Washington state that makes equipment for the electric power industry has announced it's more than doubling the size of its plant in the northern Idaho city of Lewiston.

The Lewiston Tribune reports that Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories announced Friday the project that will break ground in November.

The expansion will give the Pullman-based company room for more than 750 employees in Lewiston. The Lewiston facility currently has 150 employees.

Company spokeswoman Tammy Lewis says new positions will be added on an unspecified time frame.
