3 oh Howard R. Green Co will shift about 25 employees from the Equifax building to the NCR Corp building by the end of March.

The firm, founded in 1913, employs around 120, with offices in multiple Iowa cities and Sioux Falls. Russell also expects to hire 10 to 15 permanent staff including engineers and geologists.
