Site staff by Site Contributor







Construction has started to turn an old restaurant into a new job center on Madison’s west side.

The former Griff’s restaurant on McKenna Boulevard will be converted into the Park Edge Park Ridge Neighborhood Employment Center.

Officials held a groundbreaking ceremony at the site across from Elver Park Wednesday.

It will offer training programs for jobs in healthcare, IT, construction and insurance.

People can also learn how to make a resume and improve computer and interviewing skills.

The city is providing funds for running the facility, and the Urban League of Greater Madison is responsible for staffing.
