Washington Boulevard at Interstate 95 is Connecticut’s version of Wall Street at Broad.
This is where UBS, aka the Union Bank of Switzerland, sits on one side of the street, a short walk from the Stamford train station into Manhattan. On the other side is RBS, aka the Royal Bank of Scotland.
The trading capital of Connecticut is now all up in arms, it seems, because UBS is talking about moving out.
Denizens are warning that the city will “become a ghost town,” if the Swiss bank moves its operations – including its 103,000-square-foot trading floor – into New York City.
