GATES, N.Y. -- Maximus will occupy a part of Building 5 at Rochester Tech Park on Elmgrove Road in Gates. Harris Communications is that building's main tenant.  

Gates Town Supervisor Mark Assini says Maximus has been doing renovation work inside the building for the last four months. He said it hasn't received a lot of publicity because the Tech Park's owner and management team has done most of the legwork.

"We had a number of things we had to do to help them get through the permitting process, we went out of our way to do some special things to make sure that the project was going along that no hiccups or hitches were occurring and we've been very, very fortunate and I think we're going to make the August 1st deadline," Assini said.

Maximus employs around 17,000 people in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. It provides administrative services for healthcare programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. Assini says the facility at Rochester Tech Park will be a call center creating a need for between 2,000 and 2,800 new employees.

"They're not ten years down the road or mythical or maybe someday they'll happen, they're here, they're now, they're concrete, they're real and we can't wait to invite the community to come in and interview for the jobs and come to our job fair and get people hired and working," Assini said.

Assini says he and Adecco Employment Agency will meet with Maximus officials on Thursday to set up a date for the job fair.
