There's a build
News Story from The Blaze
Back in 2017, Taiwan's electronics giant Foxconn vowed to build what the company said would be a $10 billion factory in Wisconsin that would employ 13,000 people building LCD TV screens. In exchange, the state government offered the company more than $4 billion in incentives, including $3 billion in refundable tax credits.
But on March 30, 2019, the company suddenly announced it would not be building the plant after all.
