County to borrow $68 million for Foxconn land purchases. (Racine Journal Times,4/28/2018)
Promises, promises.  Delagrave said the cost to the taxpayers will be minimal as the county pays this debt through the tax incremental financing districts that have been established for the project. “All of this money is paid back through the TIF, this is not any levy dollars or county operational money,” Delagrave said.
