Goodwill Would Bring 500 Employees to Greendale

As many as 500 employees would work at Goodwill Industries of Southeast Wisconsin’s corporate headquarters at the building currently owned by Readers Digest, if the Village of Greendale approves the organization’s plan to move in.

According to a business plan submitted to the village, Goodwill would purchase the building at 5400 S. 60th St. to turn the facility into a work and training center, as well as its headquarters.

The building would be open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The building and property would not undergo any significant alterations, nor are there any anticipated outdoor activities expected at the facility.

Goodwill provides training, employment and supportive services for people with disabilities or disadvantages who seek greater independence.

The Village Board will start the special use application process at its meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
