A great investment

Fidelity, which expects to create 1,250 new jobs in Albuquerque, will begin its local operations this year and occupy its facility at the Mesa del Sol site in late 2008. The new campus will house the expansion of Fidelity Human Resources Services, which provides corporate clients with payroll, health and welfare, and human resources services.

"Fidelity's selection of this location for a major facility reflects its great confidence in New Mexico's workforce and the quality of life provided at Mesa del Sol," Daly said. "It also offers testimony to the successful collaboration of the public and private sectors, at both the local and state levels, to support economic development that will benefit the entire state.

"The announcement by Fidelity has the potential to change the City of Albuquerque and the economy of New Mexico forever," said Daly. "This means that there will be good-paying jobs for New Mexico's college graduates. It's going to have a positive and far-reaching effect on Mesa del Sol, the surrounding community and the state."
