Racine County is the latest government entity to approve funding for Foxconn and its plan to build a manufacturing campus in southeastern Wisconsin.

The county board voted unanimously Tuesday night to provide up to $764 million for the Taiwanese company’s project in Mount Pleasant. Foxconn says the $10 billion flat screen manufacturing complex could eventually employ 13,000 people.

Mount Pleasant approved the local funding Monday. The county and village contract with Foxconn includes property tax payment guarantees.
