MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) – Foxconn will challenge the state’s decision to not deliver tax breaks.
Foxconn attorney Robert Berry says that the company has serious concerns that the state won’t deliver those cuts as agreed to by former Governor Scott Walker.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation says Foxconn has reneged on their side of that contract by failing to hire enough full-time workers, and by scaling back the plans that were originally agreed to.
WEDC wants the company to come in and negotiate a new contract. Under the old plans, Foxconn was supposed to build a full-scale LCD plant in southeastern Wisconsin, hire 13,000 people, and invest 10 billion dollars into the state. So far it has fallen far short of all of those requirements.
