Officials from Mount Pleasant, Racine County and Foxconn Technology Group signed a developers agreement Friday outlining a $764 million local investment to support the company’s 22 million-square-foot LCD manufacturing campus.
“For a village like ours, this is an opportunity that’s unheard of,” said Dave DeGroot, Mount Pleasant village president.
The village and county boards unanimously signed off on the package earlier this week. It outlines a number of investments to be made in infrastructure, land acquisition and workforce development to support the project.
