    Gov. Scott Walker announces up to $20 million in state subsidies in 2012 for Kestrel Aircraft, which has promised to bring more than 600 jobs to Superior. Three and a half years later, the company, which received state assistance without a full financial review, has created just a few dozen jobs. Kestrel had also promised to bring hundreds of jobs to Brunswick, Maine, before moving its headquarters to Wisconsin in 2012. Photo by Jed Carlson of the Superior Telegram. Oct 16th, 2015 by Dee J.

  • Jobs Lacking After State Subsidy of Kohl’s

    In 2012, Kohl's Corp. was awarded up to $62.5 million in tax credits from the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., in part to build a new headquarters and expand its Wisconsin workforce by 3,000 workers. But disappointing sales figures caused the company to pull back, instead opting to acquire and renovate space near the existing headquarters. The company also has created just 473 of the 3,000 jobs it plans to add. Photo by Tara Golshan of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism. Sep 21st, 2015 by Dee J. Hall and Tara Golshan
