Milwaukee, WI – Foxconn Technology Group (Foxconn) and its general contractor M+W | Gilbane (Gilbane) announced today a new set of more than three dozen companies who have been awarded contracts to help construct the Multipurpose Building at the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park campus in Mount Pleasant. All 37 of the companies have Wisconsin operations.
“Today’s announcement reflects Foxconn’s continued commitment to a ‘Wisconsin First’ plan by working with companies all across the State,” said Dr. Louis Woo, Special Assistant to Foxconn Founder and CEO Terry Gou. “We are proud all of these companies have Wisconsin operations, and it is good to see that many are from Southeast Wisconsin, as well as some from the Madison-area, the Fox Valley and West Central Wisconsin. Part of the reason we selected Wisconsin is the quality of workmanship we find here. We look forward to our continued partnership with companies here as we invest $10 billion and create 13,000 jobs that will pay an average of $53,875 annually.”
The Multipurpose Building is a 120,000 square feet facility and the first building being constructed on the Foxconn campus. The structure will serve as office space for construction companies involved in the building of the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park.
