FOXCONN XXXXXXX The Village of Mount Pleasant is home to Foxconn and Wisconn Valley. The Foxconn development is bringing a large, private investment to the village and the State of Wisconsin. Mount Pleasant will be home to a state-of-the-art manufacturing campus and

research and development center, including the first LCD manufacturing facility in North America. The development will create up to 13,000 jobs in the state and generate more than $31 million per year in new property tax revenue.

IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT Foxconn’s $10 billion private investment in Area 1 will generate about $30 million/year in new tax revenue that will more than pay for all public improvements and development costs. Foxconn is providing financial guarantees to support a minimum valuation for the project in Area 1 of $1.4 billion.
