MILWAUKEE, WI – Foxconn this week reiterated it will create 13,000 jobs and invest $10 billion in a new manufacturing campus here but is declining to confirm the type of LCD panel plant it will build.

Foxconn’s original plans were to build a Gen. 10.5 plant, but in June Foxconn executive Louis Woo said the company now planned to first build a smaller Gen. 6 plant.

The firm ensured it could meet projected demand for LCD panels, with the Gen. 6 plant the first phase. However, Foxconn wasn’t specific about subsequent plans, according to reports.
