Mukwonago, WI. (AP) — Electronics giant Foxconn could build additional facilities in Wisconsin beyond the $10 billion investment it’s already announced.
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports based on what it describes as interviews with “a half-dozen knowledgeable sources” that the electronics giant could be considering a separate investment in the state, this one in Dane County. The newspaper said no offers have been exchanged and there are no guarantees that there will be any but that developments could come in less than two months. It wasn’t clear what kind of additional facility is under consideration.
House Speaker Paul Ryan told WITI-TV in an interview Wednesday that he anticipates there will be “more than just this one location in the Racine-Kenosha area” where the company has agreed to build a massive plant to manufacture panels for flat-screen TVs.
He said the company wants to “tap into our intellectual talent in Madison and Milwaukee.”
