Boston Financial Data Services, a financial services firm that employs 3,000 people across the eastern United States, will move into the former MBNA building in Rockland and expects to employ 250 people at the facility within two years.
Boston Financial, based in Quincy, Mass., will lease the entire 70,000-square-foot Rockland Harbor Park Center. According to a press release from the company, it plans to hire 100 people this year and employ 250 in the next two years. However, Matt Jacobson, president and CEO of Maine & Co., a Portland firm that was integral in bringing the company to Rockland, and a columnist for Mainebiz, said this morning that the firm could eventually employ as many as 400 people. The jobs will be "high-end call center work," Jacobson said.
The firm was attracted to Rockland by the facility, a demonstrable workforce and a team effort, Jacobson told Mainebiz. Besides Maine & Co., the Knox/Waldo Regional Economic Development Council, the city of Rockland, Gov. John Baldacci and the Department of Economic and Community Development were heavily involved in wooing Boston Financial. Both of Maine's senators even called the company to urge them to move to Rockland, according to Jacobson. "When we work together, we win," he said.
