GLOVERSVILLE -- The company planning to open a massive call center in Gloversville has upped the number of people it plans to hire.
King TeleServices LLC Friday morning said it now plans to hire 1,200 part-time workers for the downtown center, which will occupy the former Frontier Communications space on Church Street.
The company declined to say whether the jobs would be temporary or permanent.
The announcement was well-received in Gloversville, a Fulton County city where at least one of every 10 workers is unemployed. Boosters also see the project as a boon for the city's downtown.
"It'll be really nice to have that kind of activity in the downtown again," said Chauncey McCormick, owner of Grandma Millie's bakery, which is just a few blocks from the call center site.
King says it hopes to have the call center open by fall, and the company has scheduled training sessions for late next month.
King has also scheduled a job fair for Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 60 Church St. And beginning next week, walk-in applications will be accepted on Mondays between 9 a.m. and noon and Fridays between 3 and 6 p.m.
