Wisconsin approves $3bn deal for Foxconn factory

Wisconsin approves $3bn deal for Foxconn factory .
Wisconsin has approved a package of subsidies worth up to $3bn (£2.2bn) to Taiwanese manufacturing giant Foxconn in exchange for a new US factory.

Republican Governor Scott Walker signed the controversial deal into law on Monday.

He told reporters that work on the plant, which is to make LCD panels, should start this spring.

It is believed to be the largest incentive package for a foreign company in US history.

Foxconn, which has pledged to invest $10bn in the facility and hire thousands of workers, is still negotiating a final location. BBC News
