How many light industrial manufacturing jobs has the 41st Ward lost in the last decade? We do have a manufacturing "corridor" along Northwest Highway & Avondale (along the Railroad tracks). Driving through the area the other day, I noticed many more of the small factories and warehouses looked shut down. Many empty storefronts also. How will the Aldermadic candidates stimulate manufacturing jobs along the Railroad track corridor and retail jobs in other parts of the Ward?
