More than 200 Bank of America employees received layoff notices Wednesday.
About 230 workers in the mortgage loan fulfillment center at 901 George Washington Blvd. will join another 90 or so employees who were laid off in June. The center handles new consumer mortgages and refinancing.
"As we had talked about earlier in the summer, it's really a result of... consumer demand for mortgages across the industry dropping," said spokeswoman Julie Davis, who is based in Atlanta.
"Most folks who were going to refinance have already done so," Davis said.
"We're having to scale back our operations to meet current and anticipated customer demand."
She said year-to-date mortgage originations for the bank are $69.2 billion. Last year was a record year at $131 billion.
