Bassett Healthcare Expanding To Downtown Utica [VIDEO]
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.
