Officials: Dell closure creating opportunities in Twin Falls, Montana
State and local officials say there’s a silver lining in the closure of the Dell call center:It gives Twin Falls the opportunity to do something it hasn’t done for some time- create new jobs.
On Thursday, Dell Computer Inc. announced it will close the center in January, eliminating 500 jobs and nearly $20 million in local economic activity.
The announcement caught state and local officials by surprise, but on Monday Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter met with Dell executives and city and state economic development officials to discuss help for laid-off workers and ways to reuse the 48,000-square-foot building on Pole Line Road.
