PEORIA, ILL. -- A North Carolina factory that makes some of Caterpillar Inc.'s smallest machines will expand operations, adding 325 jobs within four years.

North Carolina on Thursday offered the Peoria, Ill.-based heavy-equipment manufacturer up to $4 million in tax refunds and grants to expand its Sanford factory.

The Caterpillar plant builds tight-turning skid loaders widely used in landscaping and construction.
