VF Corp. in Wisconsin: That was then, this is now


October 1, 2014

Here's the kicker, folks.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. has authorized VF Outdoor to receive up to $880,500 in state tax credits. The company is eligible for $310,000 in job creation credits over the next three years. The actual amount of credits will be contingent upon the number of jobs created. WEDC also authorized up to $570,500 in job retention tax credits over five years.

That's what they all say.  VF had been exploring "strategic alternatives" for that group to "empower its brands and businesses while aligning its organizational structure for future, sustainable growth," McCutchen said.
