Yahoo to Cut 200 Jobs in Buffalo Area Following Announcement of Expansion

Just nine months after it announced it would expand in Western New York, Yahoo! will be cutting over 200 jobs at it's Lockport facility.

WGRZ reports:

 

Lockport town supervisor Mark Crocker confirms that the search company is cutting jobs at its facility there, which employs 202 people.

He says employees were notified today.

And while he doesn't have an exact number, he expects it to be lower than the 15 percent that are being cut company-wide as part of a revitalization plan.

Crocker also says this is a small step back on what he still expects to be a positive relationship for the town.
