Introduction The Pohlad Family owns many private companies (see list below) that, together, employ more than 2,100 employees. Business offices are located in 19 states, but most have headquarters offices in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Metropolitan Area of Minnesota. All Pohlad businesses are encouraged to be active participants in their communities. Where and how businesses provide support as well as the amount provided varies, but the goal-to have a positive impact on recipients of support-is consistent.
On March 17 and 18, 2009 a two-day demolition project at 1200 West Broadway was completed. Twenty-eight Minnesota employees from 16 Pohlad-owned companies participated in the project. The project contractor estimated the demolition work had a value of $17,000. Because volunteers finished significantly more work than had been scheduled, savings to the project budget will increase. Once completed, the building will house businesses that will generate revenue for the area and also stimulate local businesses. Volunteer employees worked hard tearing down walls and ceilings, ripping up floors, picking up tires around the facility, and hauling debris that filled eight large commercial dumpsters. Team-work was evident on both days and complaining non-existent. Employee comments include:
