From the premiere episode of Seaon 1
PBS Wisconsin, 5/10/2021
In April, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation signed off on a majorly scaled-down tax incentive package for Foxconn. The amended contract comes less than three years after the company broke ground on a much-hyped campus in Racine County where it originally promised to build large LCD screens.
Those plans did not come to fruition. At the same time, Foxconn officials have become more circumspect about their plans for Wisconsin. In a statement lauding its revised contract with the state, the company stated the terms were "based on Foxconn's current projections for digital infrastructure hardware products through 2025." It didn't elaborate on what exactly those products might be.
What are "digital infrastructure hardware products," and how could they fit into the global electronics manufacturer's Wisconsin operations?
The latter question remains unanswered for the time being. Foxconn officials did not respond to multiple queries about its intentions, and a spokesperson for the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation referred questions about any plans to the company. [emphasis added]
Another Foxconn hot potato.
