Only after Marco obtained the assistance <br />of a workers' compensation lawyer who <br />intervened did Environmental StoneWorks <br />take responsibility for paying Marco's <br />medical bills through the company's <br />insurance provider. <br />Marco's mistreatment is just the tip of the <br />iceberg for immigrants that make their living <br />on Environmental StoneWorks projects <br />according to workers interviewed. For <br />example, Mario reported that a previous <br />boss shorted him on pay and had a stated <br />practice of paying immigrants who could not <br />provide a social security number less per <br />square foot of stone installed. <br />We have documented Environmental <br />StoneWorks (ESW) on the following <br />public projects: <br />• Legends of Blaine - Dominium (Blaine) <br />• Risor of Apple Valley - Roers (Apple <br />Valley) - subsidized through Dakota <br />County gap financing46 <br />46 The Risor of Apple Valley received "$2.4 mil- <br />lion in gap financing to help subsidize the afford- <br />able component" according to the following source: <br />Brian Johnson, "Roers pays $3 million for housing <br />site in Apple Valley," Finance and Commerce, April <br />27, 2o2I,Ittps://finance-commerce.com/2o2i/O4/ <br />roers-pays-3-million-for-housing-site-in-apple-valley/. <br />Wolf Construction Services, LLC <br />West Des Moines, Iowa <br />Lower tier Wolf Construction Services <br />subcontractors and/or labor brokers <br />have been charged, and in some cases <br />convicted, for conduct that ranges from <br />misclassification47 to retaliation48 to sex <br />trafficking.49 As recently as March 30, <br />2023, a lower tier subcontractor for Wolf <br />Construction, Giron Construction LLC, was <br />charged with insurance fraud.5° <br />We have documented Wolf Construction <br />Services on the following publicly <br />financed projects: <br />• Amundson Flats - MWF (Edina) <br />• Ellie Apartments - United Properties <br />(Eden Prairie) <br />• Legends of Cottage Grove - Dominium <br />(Cottage Grove) <br />• Legends of Minnetonka - Dominium <br />(Minnetonka) <br />• Legends of Spring Lake Park - Dominium <br />(Spring Lake) <br />• Legends of Woodbury - Dominium <br />(Woodbury) <br />• Preserve at Shady Oak - Dominium <br />(Minnetonka) <br />• Rosemary Apartments - MWF (Hugo) <br />• Twin Lake Apartments - Dominium <br />(Roseville) <br />• WooddaleApartments - Real Estate <br />Equities (St. Louis Park) <br />47 MNDOLI Licensing Order: https://drive.google.com/ <br />file/d/i ayosyiTtDvHKXKXrr3 _KtZLibyReD sP/ <br />view?usp=sharing. <br />48 MNDOLI Administrative Order: https://drive.google. <br />com/file/d/iv2ZweCuRz7JlRws_U2B6csCIzwmbiORm/ <br />view?usp=sharing. <br />49 Charging documents for Humberto Rangel-Torres: <br />httpps: //drive.go oggle. com/file/d /iVnZdZIVIZ- <br />RYZMAbcQfM8VkI7swDSDgJ21-/ <br />view?usp=sharing. <br />So Charging documents for Giron Construction <br />LLC: https://drive.googgle.com/file/d/izAX- <br />o33ytdkHTph IJipiWxN HkSZSNi oy8/ <br />view?usp=sharing. <br />North Star Policy Action 13 <br />
