Federally operated facilities do not pay city taxes or other related costs; however, all contracted employees will pay taxes.

4. What will the proposed Milwaukee Job Corps Center campus look like?

The Job Corps Center will be a brand new facility with vocational training shops, academic classrooms, dormitories, a cafeteria, and recreation facilities – much like a junior college campus.

6. How will the Job Corps Center benefit the surrounding community?

Many of the 80-90 staff needed to run the facility will be hired from the area, and a Job Corps Center generates significant revenue for a community. Students and staff will do all of their shopping near the center, and the food, furniture, equipment, materials, and supplies will be purchased from local vendors. Students are involved in a variety of community service projects.

7. Where exactly will the facility be built, and will the neighborhood have a voice in the design?

After a thorough site selection process and exploration of several sites in the area, the US Department of Labor has chosen a 25 acre site at approximately 60th and Green Tree Road. The community will be consulted on issues related to the design of the facility.

8. What will happen to the remainder of the property to be acquired by the city of Milwaukee? Will neighbors have a voice in design and use of any remaining property?

The city will retain ownership of the remaining 40 acres. The city may seek development on the remaining property in the future, but any future development will take place in consultation with the surrounding neighborhood.
