    Foxconn Technology Group announced at the White House Wednesday its plans to invest $10 billion to build a massive display panel plant in Wisconsin that could employ up to 13,000 workers but would require up to $3 billion in subsidies from state taxpayers.

    The project could reshape the economy of southeastern Wisconsin and involve not just a large factory but a virtual village, with housing, stores and service businesses — spread over at least 1,000 acres, according to Gov. Scott Walker's office and a source familiar with the deal. That acreage, an area totaling more than 1.5 square miles and roughly the size of Shorewood, could potentially could be assembled from parcels that initially weren’t contiguous, the source said.

    “America does not have a single LCD plant to produce a complicated system. We are going to change that," Foxconn chairman Terry Gou said at the White House news conference. "It starts today with this investment in Wisconsin."

    Let the Liberals and Democrats keep babbling about Russians with no evidence. Let them continue on their obstructionism. As incredible economic and job based news like this continues, they don't have a chance in 2018 and 2020.
