The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation approved an additional $569 million Foxconn investment to expand operations in Racine County, a project slated to create nearly 1,400 jobs over four years.
WEDC’s notice frames the expansion as supporting Foxconn’s U.S. manufacturing for AI-era data-center equipment and related electronics; the agency added that the amendment includes up to $16 million in performance-based tax incentives.
For context, Foxconn last week announced with OpenAI a plan to co-design and manufacture multiple generations of AI data-center racks and components at U.S. facilities.
In a separate announcement, Alphabet’s Intrinsic formed a joint venture with Foxconn to deploy general-purpose, AI-enabled robotics for assembly, inspection, machine tending and logistics, aiming toward software-defined factory orchestration.
Together, the partnerships position Foxconn as both a domestic AI-infrastructure manufacturer and a factory-automation platform partner for U.S. enterprises planning AI build-outs and production modernization.
