Foxconn to Locate Large Operation in Downtown Milwaukee

Foxconn plans to locate a facility in downtown Milwaukee

Foxconn plans to locate a headquarters in downtown Milwaukee that could result in hundreds of jobs.  The operation would supplement the huge LCD screen manufacturing plant that the Taiwanese electronics giant plans to build in Racine County. 

Foxconn says it will formally announce details on Tuesday -- however, Northwestern Mutual Life has confirmed that Foxconn has agreed to purchase a 132,000 square foot building from the company.  WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked Journal Sentinel Reporter Tom Daykin how this all came about.
