(Wednesday, May 27, 2009) - Mayor Robert J. Duffy today released the following statement on the JP Morgan Chase Co.’s decision to add 250 mortgage-service jobs to its downtown offices.

“This announcement speaks directly to our trained workforce in the Rochester area, which no doubt was a leading factor in Chase’s decision to expand here.
