Another business is coming to Downtown Utica.

Bassett Healthcare Network will be locating an operational support center in the M &T Bank Annex building on Genesee Street, which has been vacant for the last seven years.

Mayor Robert Palmieri says Bassett's expansion plans will have a positive economic impact on Downtown Utica.

He says the expansion could bring up to 125 jobs to Downtown over a five-year period.

Jonathan Flyte of Bassett says several sites were considered, with Utica surfacing as the top choice.

It will take about a year before Bassett is ready to move into the building.

Last week, Express Employment Professionals announced it would be moving to the renovated Landmarc Building.
