University Research Park supports 9,100 jobs and contributes more than $680 million annually to Wisconsin’s economy, according to a new study.
North Star Economics Inc. said its study found that the 114 companies in the 255-acre west side park employ 4,155 people with a total payroll of more than $260 million, based on an average salary of $62,000 a year. More than $170 million of the payroll remains in the state after federal tax deductions and other non-local spending is taken into account.
