BROOKFIELD -- Milwaukee Tool broke ground on Friday, July 13 on an expansion of its Brookfield facility. Gov. Scott Walker was on hand for the event.
The new $32 million research and development facility is expected to bring another 350 jobs to southeast Wisconsin.
This expansion project will occupy a 3.5-acre site. It is expected to house Milwaukee Tool’s advanced manufacturing, engineering, and global research and development center. The 114,500-square foot, multi-story building starts construction in the third quarter -- and is expected to be complete by the end of 2019.
Jobs created as a result of this expansion are expected to include a wide range of opportunities, but will predominantly focus on engineering roles with an average annual salary of $75,000.
