Contractors are eyeing a spring completion of the 1-million-sq-ft main fabrication facility of Foxconn Technology Group's planned campus in Mt. Pleasant, Wis., but exactly what the Taiwan-based company will manufacture there remains publicly unknown.

Originally planned as a generation 10 large-panel LCD screen production facility, Foxconnscaled back those plansand一年前将工厂改为6代设施。官员们说，它将生产较小的LCD。

富士康区1的核心空间占地800英亩。施工经理吉尔班（Gilbane）/Exyte正在建造一个大约750英亩的电力变电站和主要的制造工厂。

"Whether it's erosion control, or creating stormwater [management], or moving dirt, we started in April 2018 on the master plan site development, whereby we focused on creating the campus," says Adam Jelen, Gilbane senior vice president of its central Midwest division. "The ground, the stormwater management, the roadway systems, to make sure we could have a steady hand with vertical construction in 2019."

去年6月,总体规划后,巷道infrastructure and site utilities were largely completed — crews placed foundations comprising the equivalent of approximately 17 football fields for Area 1's fabrication building in preparation for vertical construction of the walls. In August, Gilbane/Exyte and their trade partners began to place the more than 400 precast concrete panels that are the walls of the manufacturing facility. The contractor also began framing 8,000 tons of steel.

"Our goal was to be substantially enclosed on the first advanced manufacturing facility by the end of 2019, and that was accomplished," Jelen said. "Phased turnovers started in quarter two [of 2020]. And then those sequences continue in the first facility, itself. ... The goal of the project is to build a world-class advanced manufacturing campus — the first of its kind in the U.S. Along with that goal, is to really make a difference in both work force and business."

耶伦说，这种高科技制造工厂在威斯康星州是前所未有的。连接建筑社区需要为校园本身创建劳动力和供应链网络。

"Those connectors really started with information sessions that were done throughout the state and reached nationally/globally for the supply chain. They were done in nearly 30 different sessions to go ahead and communicate the project and how to get involved," he said. "Right now there's over 6,000 entities in the supply chain that are getting notified on a regular basis of every update on the project and how to get involved. I think it started out with a vision of making a difference in both business and workforce through our WI-First plan."

该项目发掘团队有27家公司参与其中。Gilbane/Exyte及其供应商正在尽可能多地进行预制，无论是现场的管道和分配，还是预制或钢铁。

他说：“我们必须确保我们获得良好的强大预制，以稳定地养活该项目。”“我们正在做的事情是在团队中不断创造机会……在这些竞标方案中的每个竞标方面，都集中着专注于创建和将最佳贸易承包商团队带入餐桌上。通过这些团队，我们已经过去了实现这一愿景。我们已经取得了成功，是的，我们已经创建了这些团队，我们每个星期和每个月继续为下一个项目的下一阶段创建新团队。”

第1区制造工厂的第一阶段是在2020年春季完成的计划中，生产仍在五月底或此后不久的情况下。

还有其他问题。富士康在2018年只有178名全职威斯康星州员工 - 该公司立即索取1000万美元的州工作税收抵免和援助所需的最低260个工作。

威斯康星州Gov. Tony Evers (D) said the company likely missed its 2019 employment target, 520 people in exchange for $222 million in credits and aid. This year, the contract requires the company to create at least 1,820 jobs by year’s end in order to receive up to $270 million more in credits.

埃弗斯还表示，该项目的初始就业阶段将在生产开始时仅包括约1,500人，这比去年的1,800人降低了。

Foxconn's agreement with the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., the state’s business development arm, calls for the company to create the 13,000 jobs by 2032. The deal requires the company to do its hiring in phases, meeting specific targets in order to qualify for subsidies of around $3 billion. Foxconn maintains that it will eventually hire 13,000 people in Wisconsin although it's now in a dispute with the state about what jobs can count toward that total. Foxconn plans to open innovation centers throughout the state beyond the campus in Mt. Pleasant.

在一个recent op-ed威斯康星州议会少数党领袖戈登·辛茨（D）发表在《威斯康星州杂志》上发表在《威斯康星州杂志》上，批评该公司将其计划从建造第10代设施改为第六代和将要生产的东西的保密性。欣兹一直是该项目的长期批评家，并在他的专题编辑中说，他不知道该设施内部正在建造什么。
