UPDATE. You'll probably want to take this Louis Woo statement with a grain of salt



Quoted in Glass plant not a ‘necessity’ with Foxconn making smaller screens.  (Milwaukee Business News, 6/20/2018)
The change gives Foxconn more flexibility in deciding which products to produce in Wisconsin but also removes the need for a Corning glass plant to co-locate at the site, Louis Woo, special assistant to Foxconn chairman Terry Gou, said in an interview this week.

Scott Walker is not going to be happy, Louis.  You just put a dent in his 'real results', indirect jobs count.



Original 6/20/2018 post, "Louis Woo has a bridge to sell us", starts here.

For Foxconn, of course, the first step is to exempt itself from as many environmental regulations as possible.  

"Sweeping"?  That means they done good.  Mission accomplished!
