Frontier Communications Expands in DeLand, Creating 139 Jobs

Gov. Rick Scott announced on Wednesday that Frontier Communications will expand operations in DeLand, adding almost 140 new jobs in the Volusia County area.

The expansion of Frontier Communications in DeLand is great news for families in Central Florida, Scott said. The 139 jobs added to this area will help families achieve their dreams. We work every day to make sure Florida is the best place to live and the best place for business. Since December 2010, we have created more than 446,300 private-sector jobs and Floridas unemployment rate has dropped to 6.4 percent, the lowest its been in more than five years. We look forward to continuing to create an opportunity economy in Florida.

We are proud to be part of Florida and the greater DeLand community, said Donna Lofferts, a vice president of residential call center sales and service for Frontier. The state and local governments have been involved in every step of our expansion here in DeLand, and their involvement has been essential to ensuring our successful growth. The employees we have attracted are talented, hard-working and have a positive attitude, and we could not be happier with our continued growth in the state of Florida."
