WXXI Business Report: one local company is cutting jobs, another is adding hundreds of positions

In this week’s WXXI Business Report:

  • A longtime Rochester company will see a number of layoffs.
  • A new manufacturing hub in the Southern Tier will create hundreds of jobs as part of a plan to build high-speed trains in Chemung County.
  • And a Rochester-based business called iSmash, that uses those so-called ‘rage rooms’ where participants can break up all kinds of items, says it has sold 21 new franchises.
