RACINE COUNTY, WI (WTAQ)- Foxconn is helping Wisconsin in more ways than one.
Governor Scott Walker says while the number of jobs the company will bring on a day to day basis will make a big impact.
The recent announcement of contracts with Wisconsin companies during construction is even better news as 27 of the 28 contracts come from Wisconsin.
“Neenah Foundry Company in Neenah and Panacea Group in Seymour and its companies all over the state of Wisconsin, that is just phase one as we prepare the site.”
The Governor says that will allow for a large impact.
“Almost 98 percent of all the money is flowing to those companies.”
Walker says it will help statewide.
“The impact will be felt in 60 different counties across the state of Wisconsin.”
That impact will include 800 direct and indirect jobs.
The contracts are worth $100 million dollars.
