(firmenpresse) - TROIS-RIVIERES, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 12/05/11 -- Editors Note: There is a photo associated with this press release.
Louis Audet, President and CEO of Cogeco Cable and COGECO Inc. today officially inaugurated Cogeco Cable's brand new operations centre in Trois-Rivieres. The ceremony took place earlier this morning attended by Julie Boulet, Minister of Employment and Social Solidarity and Minister responsible for the Mauricie region, MNAs Danielle St-Amand (Trois-Rivieres) and Jean-Paul Diamond (Maskinonge), the mayor of Trois-Rivieres, Yves Levesque, and numerous other officials. The multi-functional facilities represent a total investment of $18 million and consolidate Cogeco Cable's Quebec telecommunications nerve centre in Mauricie.
In addition to bringing together Cogeco Cable's some 500 employees in Trois-Rivieres under one roof and creating close to 100 direct and indirect jobs, the new building houses more than 79,000 square feet and provides a modern and functional work environment and cutting-edge hi-tech equipment.
"Inaugurating this new centre demonstrates COGECO's commitment to the region and our recognition for the people who live here, who have supported us for over 50 years. We are proud of our roots, and we know that this site is a perfect fit with our projects for the future," Mr. Audet said at the ceremony.
Trois-Rivieres mayor Yves Levesque was highly enthusiastic concerning the completion of the large-scale project. "This is truly a great day for Cogeco, and it's also a genuinely wonderful day for Trois-Rivieres," he declared at the end of today's press briefing.
The new structure, situated along St-Jean Boulevard, was built by businesses in the region. Architect Richard Beauchamp of Locus 3 in Trois-Rivieres designed the plans in partnership with JBCA, and the construction contract was awarded to Construction G. Therrien of Nicolet.
