Dot-Com to Stay in Stamford Despite Big Merger Deal

STAMFORD, CT-The $120 million merger deal announced this past Monday between DoubleClick Inc., and @plan.inc will not mean the loss of any jobs in Connecticut, GlobeSt.com has learned.

DoubleClick’s global headquarters is located at 450 West 33rd St. in Manhattan. The company is an Internet advertising solutions firm. @plan is a provider of on-line research planning systems.
