Meagher, smeagher@nebusinessmedia.com The more than 200-year-old law firm Fletcher Tilton will move into two floors in the Mercan- tile Center at 100 Front St. in Worcester, including the fifth floor, which currently houses the Telegram & Gazette, the media organization whose logo adorns the top of the office tower. The Telegram & Gazette planned to move out of the offices in stages in June and July, said Charles "Chip" Norton, managing director of Franklin Realty Advisors, the Welles- ley-based firm that owns the Mercantile Center. It is a possibility the Telegram could take office space else- where in the building, but Norton would not discuss any potential negotiations on a lease of new space. The Telegram & Gazette was a long-term occupant of the building for more than 10 years, according to Franklin, and dom- inated office space in the tower, at one point occupying multiple floors for its news and business operations. The newspaper's parent com- pany, Virginia-based Gannett, has been steadily reducing the amount of staff. For example, the Telegram newsroom has 21 employees, according to its website. That's down from the 162 employees who moved into two floors of the office building back in July 2012. A statement from the Tele- gram & Gazette spokesperson didn't commit to the publication staying in the Mercantile Center, only that the company is evalu- ating its options.
