Monroe Staffing opens first Mass. location at Northgate Professional Center

Monroe Staffing Services, an employment agency, will open its first Mass. office at Northgate Professional Center, 1985 Main St., according to Northgate owner, Andrew Cohen. Cohen said Monroe Staffing will occupy a 1,400 s/f suite comprising the one remaining vacancy in the 3-story Northgate Office Building. Monroe, a 40 year old company with nine Conn. locations, provides staffing services in the areas of finance and accounting, information technology, clerical and office, light industry and environmental work. The imminent opening of Tapestry Healthcare on the ground floor leaves just two vacancies in the main body of Northgate Center, Cohen said. The property, operated as a retail center for nearly four decades, was extensively renovated in 2007 to better accommodate medical and professional office uses. Other tenants at the 45,000 s/f center include Hanger Prosthetics & Orthotics, The Apothecary, Northgate Dental Center, Northgate Medical PC, H&R Block, the U.S. Veterans Administration, Apex Healthcare, Northgate Spine & Injury Center, New England Business Association, Insurance Fraud Bureau and O'Brien Physical Therapy.
