Subject: Job numbers for Goll project

Good Morning,

I apologize for the late notice, but in light of last night’s letter from developer Christopher Houden, I 
think this information is very important in this decision. I want to share with you all the impact that the 
1550 N. Prospect Ave site (Goll Mansion project) would have on the union construction industry here in 
Milwaukee.

This project is estimated to cost $55 million; according to the attached third party study on page 4, for 
every $1 million spent on this type of construction, 14 jobs will be created. This translates into 770 jobs 
from this project, half of which – 385 –  will be directly in construction. Per the commitment from the 
developer as outlined in his letter, 20% RPP worker participation would mean there are 77 jobs for RPP 
workers on this project.

Just as important, the developer also committed to 20% MBE/DBE subcontractor hiring – this would 
mean $11 million in work for these contractors.  

I am asking that you please consider these facts as you make your decision today on this project moving 
forward.

Thanks for your time in this matter,

Ken
