New York (CNN Business)Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn may drop plans to build flat screen panels at a Wisconsin plant for which it was promised $4 billion in state and local tax dollars.
But the company says it is going ahead with developing the Wisconsin property and still expects to hire up to 13,000 workers.
==================================================
This Foxconn plan did not make any sense from the start. They would have had to import most of the skilled labor from Taiwan & settle them in an area wit no pro-Chinese infrastructure (housing, markets, etc). Even though The Donald heralded this as one of his industrial miracles, the lousy winter climate in Racine, WI is now apparently not going to be greeting lots of Chinese workers.
