Senator Tammy Baldwin is calling it a big win for Wisconsin’s Northwoods.
Baldwin says today the news that Blackwell Job Corps Center will remain open is huge for the economy of the region. The center had been scheduled for closure with the other Civilian Conservation centers within the U.S. Forest Service. The Trump Administration announced yesterday its plan to withdraw the termination of the program, which has provided job training for disadvantaged young people for the past 55 years.
