Roanoke is losing jobs in its downtown business district.

Jean we're talking about the 21- story First Union Tower.

By next year there will be very few, if any people from First Union working
in the landmark building that bears its name.
News-7 has learned that First Union will close its Mortgage Service Center
in downtown Roanoke.
(----------------)
VO-NAT
SUPER=03-Roanoke/File Tape;
The bank confirmed that by next fall it will transfer 120 jobs there to its
main mortgage center in Raleigh.
First Union calls this an efficiency move.
It opened the Roanoke service center in 1993 with 200 employees.
(-------------)
LIVE=Len/Newsroom;
First Union employees who don't want to transfer to Raleigh will be offered
other jobs with the bank, mostly at its operations center in Roanoke County.

So while the net job loss in the Roanoke Valley may not be that great, the
downtown Roanoke area will still lose around 100 office workers.

Scearce apparently got out of his car and pointed a gun to his head.
