A Wisconsin concrete contractor that worked on high-profile Milwaukee projects such as the Fiserv Forum and Northwestern Mutual Tower illegally used a federal program to help disadvantaged, small businesses compete for federally funded transportation contracts, according to a five-year federal investigation that wrapped up last month.
Over a dozen years, executives at Sonag Ready Mix of Milwaukee fraudulently reaped more than $260 million in government contracts intended to benefit minority and veteran-owned businesses, according to the government.
