Foxconn Changes Plans For Massive SE Wisconsin Facility

Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Group says it is still committed to the creation of 13-thousand jobs in southeastern Wisconsin, but it’s making some changes. Instead of building L-C-D screens in a huge factory in Mount Pleasant, it is adjusting its plans. Now the electronics giant wants to create a technology hub with research facilities. The jobs created would no longer be blue-collar manufacturing jobs. Wisconsin state and local governments have promised Foxconn about four-billion dollars in incentives for the project.
