(AP) _ A Buffalo debt-collection company will create 250 jobs in western New York in the next two years and invest $1 million to expand its operations, according to a statement from Gov. George Pataki's office.

Officials including Pataki and Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown welcomed the move by Capital Management Services. The privately held company already has 820 employees in Buffalo, in addition to locations in Las Vegas and India.

The company can apply to Empire State Development to be reimbursed for up to $300,000 of the $1 million, according to the statement from Pataki's office.
