But there may be a bit of hope now.
Microsoft bought a portion of the large swath of Foxconn land and is building a new server farm, which will employ a few hundred workers. Microsoft paid more than $100 million for the land. Not to Mount Pleasant, but to Foxconn, since it still owns the property.
Lovely. Kicked famers and owners off by eminent domain, corruption mongers ate a billion dollars of Wisconsin’s money and they got four square miles of mud. Possibly a hellscape of strip malls and six lane roads in the future for their genius decisionmaking.
I remember a documentary about this. The town council basically told everyone to go fuck themselves and plowed ahead with approvals. Any questions or concerns went unacknowledged. These people got screwed by their ultra-MAGA council, and yet they still overwhelmingly vote red, so I guess they’re happy with it
They spent all that money renaming it to Suck?
True to its purpose, it left everyone wondering.
