JACKSONVILLE, Fla.,
July 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- TD Bank, America's Most Convenient Bank®, today
announced it is expanding its presence in Jacksonville, Florida, through a new lease of
more than 30,000 square feet of office space and plans to build new
stores in the area, which will bring more than 250 total jobs to
the region over the next two years. TD currently employs
approximately 440 people in Jacksonville and more than 2,300 across the
state.
With this expansion, TD is opening a new operations center that
will add approximately 200 customer service and operations
positions. The bank will now occupy an additional space in the
Deerwood office park where it maintains an existing corporate
presence. TD also continues to enhance its retail footprint across
the state. The bank currently operates 10 stores in North Florida and a total of 153 stores
statewide.
"Florida is experiencing growth
unlike any other state in the country and the addition of our new
operations center and the enhancements we're making to our store
network are investments in the Florida Market for years to come,"
said Nick Miceli, Regional
President, Florida Metro, TD Bank.
"We believe the state's growth could support up to 30 new retail
locations over the next five years. We look forward to continuing
our commitment in the area as a growth company."
TD leased a 30,031-square-foot office space for the new
operations center and will fully renovate the space over the next
year. This corporate space will also be within close proximity to
TD's local leadership offices and retail space on Gate Parkway.
"I applaud TD Bank for bringing more than 250 new jobs to
Jacksonville," said Governor
Ron DeSantis. "We are seeing
companies from across the country flock to Florida as a direct result of our policies
that keep businesses open and taxes low. Jacksonville has become a hub for the
financial services industry, and I am proud to see even more job
growth in the area with today's announcement from TD Bank."
TD has also made significant investments in the local community.
In 2020, the TD Charitable Foundation awarded $2.7 million in grants in Florida.
"This announcement of TD Bank's expansion and creation of 250
new jobs adds to Jacksonville's
already great momentum as a leading destination for the financial
services industry," said Mayor Lenny
Curry. "To have one of the nation's ten largest banks with
more than 150 years of experience recognize our community's
potential is a tremendous vote of confidence in the future growth
of our city."
"TD Bank is an incredible corporate and community partner, and
we appreciate their continued investment in Northeast Florida," JAXUSA Partnership

significantly as a hub for financial services companies from across
