MADISON, Wis. – Over 1,000 new jobs will be added at Foxconn’s Racine County facilities in Mount Pleasant over the next four years.
The new workers will be used by the electronic manufacturing service provider to help build AI servers.
The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation also approved a contract amendment providing up to $16 million in additional performance-based tax incentives to Foxconn.
“WEDC has been committed to ensuring Foxconn’s success and growth in our state,” said Sam Rikkers, deputy secretary and chief operating officer of WEDC, the state’s leading economic development organization. “This new amendment reflects Foxconn’s status as one of the many leading global manufacturers that have chosen to grow in Wisconsin.”
“As the demand for more data infrastructure continues to rise, Foxconn will keep responding to our customers’ needs with flexibility and at scale in the United States,” said Jerry Hsiao, chief product officer for Foxconn. “Wisconsin accounts for close to a fourth of our workforce in America, and this second-stage project will double that presence in the state by the end of this decade.”
Overall, WEDC says the moves will create 1,374 new jobs by 2029.
