Foxconn, UW-Madison Leaders to Make Announcement



Leaders of Foxconn Technology Group and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are planning to make what they call a "major announcement" on campus Monday. U.S. News and World Report  Aug. 27, 2018, at 9:21 a.m.


Wonder what it is?


  • Wisconsin taxpayers cough up between $3 billion and $4 billion ?
  • Wisconsin localities use eminent domain to take people's property and make way for FOXCONN ?
  • Maybe FOXCONN gets all the water it wants from Lake Michigan ?
  • FOXCONN gets exempted from all state environmental rules and regulations ?
  • Wisconsin Transportation Funds are diverted from statewide infrastructure to support FOXCONN needs ?
  • Wisconsin gets 13,000 jobs -- maybe in five years ? What kind of jobs ?
  • Walker gets political cover for keeping Wisconsin at the end of the line when it comes to recovery -- compare to Minnesota or Illinois ?
Nope -- those deals or promises have already been done!  Be interesting to see what really happens!

Oh! UW gets $100 million, maybe ?

Foxconn Technology Group announced Monday, that it will invest $100 million in engineering and innovation research at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, making it one of the largest gifts in the school's history that comes as the Taiwan-based electronics giant builds a factory in southeastern Wisconsin that would be the company's first of its kind in North America.
