Comcast celebrated the grand opening Thursday of its newly renovated 100,000-square-foot Center of Excellence call center in Tucson.
โThe state-of-the art facility will house more than 1,100 employees providing support for Comcast residential products and services, including Spanish-speaking employees who specialize in customer service online and through social media channels,โ local economic development agency Sun Corridor Inc. said in a news release.
