HADPRO Moving Headquarters From Md To Va

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- A company that provides kitchen exhaust cleaning services to restaurants, government entities and large organizations is moving its headquarters from Maryland to Virginia.

Gov. Bob McDonnell said Thursday in a news release that HADPRO plans to invest $375,000 in its new headquarters in Alexandria.

Fifty-three jobs will be created.

HADPRO's existing headquarters is in Rockville, Md.

HADPRO Chief Operating Officer Brian Vahaly says the company is impressed with Virginia's pro-business community and it's the best location for future growth.
