Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Purchase of equipment to create 250 permanent new jobs for disabled persons manufacturing military clothing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

After two years of operation 125 workers will be placed outside Goodwill throughout the state in competitive employment, making room for new disabled persons to be employed in the program. Over 10 years, Goodwill will have served 1,050 different people with disabilitie, creating $41.3 million in new earnings which generates $9.4 million in new taxes. The state of Florida currently spends $5,010 per person to place and maintain persons with disabilites. This project will save the State of Florida $5 Million in 10 years.
