NONPROFIT GOODWILL INDUSTRIES OF SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN MOVING HQ TO MILWAUKEE Citing a shift in its service delivery and work model, Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin, Inc. plans to move from its current headquarters in Greendale and will establish a new headquarters within its James O. Wright Center for Work & Training at 6055 N. 91st St. on Milwaukee’s far northwest side. The organization is listing its Greendale campus, located at 5400 S. 60th St., for sale. In an announcement, the organization said the decision to sell its office was prompted
by the organization’s focus on a service delivery model that “addresses the need for services to be more deeply embedded in the communities where Goodwill operates businesses and provides mission programs.” With the building sale, a total of about 165 employees, including its leadership team, will receive new work locations and be distributed across Goodwill’s territory at locations in Milwaukee County, Waukesha County and Racine County as part of the community-based model. — Lauren Anderson, staff writer
