COMIDA Gives Adecco Tax Breaks
COMIDA’s at it again:
The company located its U.S. payroll office in Rochester Technology Park in Gates last year, and the new offices will be contiguous to the existing one.
Adecco was granted sales tax abatements on expansion-related purchases by the County of Monroe Industrial Development Agency on Tuesday.

Do they anticipate an uptick in the economy, or just more outsourcing/offshoring?

The jobs will have to be filled with local residents to adhere to COMIDA’s policies.

Are these new jobs or jobs transferred from one employer to another. So local companies lay off people, this temp agency “hires” people - sorry I don’t see this a net new job.
