CITY LOOKING FOR DELTA CALL CENTER REPLACEMENT

CITY MANAGER PAUL ECKERT SAYS THE CITY IS IN TALKS WITH SEVERAL PROSPECTS REGARDING THE DELTA AIRLINES CALL CENTER IN DOWNTOWN SIOUX CITY.
THE CENTER IS SCHEDULED TO CLOSE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS AS THE AIRLINE IS DOWNSIZING THE NUMBER OF THEIR RESERVATION CENTERS:

ECKERT SAYS THE PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS ARE INTERESTED IN BOTH THE CALL CENTER AND THE CURRENT WORKFORCE THERE, WHICH HE CALLS THE STRENGTH OF THE FACILITY.

ECKERT SAYS HE CAN'T REVEAL THE NAMES OF THE COMPANIES THE CITY IS TALKING WITH REGARDING THE CENTER, BUT HOPES HE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
