There's some good news to report on the Milwaukee job front.
Train company Talgo has received a $73 million contract from the City of Los Angeles to overhaul train cars for that city's public transit system. The work will be carried out at Milwaukee's Century City industrial park.
Mayor Tom Barrett made the announcement during his 2017 budget proposal Monday.
"For too long, the site has been a sad reminder of jobs that left town and lives that were shattered by the departure of A.O. Smith and Tower Automotive. But with extensive work, environmental remediation and a $35 million investment by the city, the 84-acre site has been redeveloped as an attractive business park that could someday feature up to 900 jobs," Rainey said in the news release.
