Foxconn Looks for ‘Flexibility’ in Current WI Contract
MADISON, WI – Foxconn Technology Group says it remains committed to a $10 billion Wisconsin project that will employ up to 13,000, while the firm looks for "flexibility" in the current deal, according to reports.
Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers said Foxconn is building a smaller display screen factory than anticipated and will hire fewer than the promised 13,000.
Following Evers’ claim Foxconn initiated talks on changes to the contract, Foxconn said in a statement it "has never wavered from our commitment to our contract" and claimed discussion with Evers was more about flexibility within the current agreement.
Foxconn said it remains open to "further consultation, collaboration, and new ideas."
Neither Gov. Evers nor Foxconn has stated what these ideas entail and what could be changed in the contract.
