30 Years of K-12 Construction Management Leadership and 20 Years of Employee-Ownership

In 2026, Wolgast Corporation proudly celebrates two significant milestones that reflect its long-standing commitment to Michigan communities, public education, and employee-ownership.

 Thirty years ago, Wolgast expanded its services to include Construction Management, becoming an advocate for K-12 school districts navigating the complexities of bond-funded projects. At a time, public school districts were limited to using a Construction Manager for publicly funded projects, Wolgast stepped in as a trusted partner—focused on transparency, accountability, and long-term value for taxpayers.

Wolgast Employee-Owners helped St. Charles Elementary School students learn about entrepreneurism as part of the Junior Achievement program last Thursday.  Steve Salyers and Donna Ratzlaff, who were part of the Project Management team for the recent building addition at St. Charles Community Schools, met with 5^th grade students to promote an interest in their future vocation.  They did this by discussing the options of running their own business or working for an established company and also playing a game to teach about sourcing materials for a manufacturing operation.  They finished off the day with a tour of the new addition to their school and fielded students’ questions.
