U.S. Bank Stadium News & Notes - October 23, 2015

With 1,400 workers recently on site daily – the most the U.S. Bank Stadium construction site will see – the equity goals that were put in place prior to groundbreaking are still being exceeded. At the time of stadium legislation, the State of Minnesota set a minority workforce goal of 32% for the biggest public works project in state history. After 22 months of construction, that number currently sits at 39% and Minneapolis Public Radio’s Tim Nelson takes a look at how that was attained. In addition, females make up 9% of the stadium construction’s workforce against an original 6% goal.
