MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – A Senate committee has signed off on a bill that aims to keep manufacturing jobs in the Fox Valley.
Kimberly Clark has announced plans to close its facility in Neenah, and possibly do the same in Fox Crossing, affecting up to 600 jobs.
The tax credit on jobs alone could cost the state north of $100-million dollars over 15 years.
On a 4-3 vote, the Senate’s Economic Development, Commerce, and Local Government Committee passed the bill.
The full Senate is expected to vote on the measure March 20. The Assembly has already given approval.
