Approximately one year after the company cleared 17 football fields of land in Mount Pleasant, the first concrete pillars of Foxconn’s massive facility have finally been raised.
According to Gilbane, the company responsible for constructing the facility, the company hopes to have most major construction completed by end of year. Gov. Evers met with Foxconn officials in July to assure progress, accountability and taxpayer protection.
