A Little About Rutherford College
Rutherford College is a small town in eastern Burke County named for the college that operated here in the nineteenth century before moving away. Today it is mostly residential, sitting just off I-40 near Icard.
Why that matters on a job site
Most work here is small-lot residential, where getting equipment in and out cleanly matters as much as the dirt work itself.
