Why Foreign Direct Investment in Wisconsin

            There are many questions when it comes to investment in general but even more so when it come to foreign direct investment. One of the biggest's questions is why should we do it. There are many driving forces behind the new investment in Wisconsin ranging from income, job creation, development and many other things but some people believe that one of the driving forces behind this new push for Foxconn's investment in Wisconsin is the fact that our governor promised a lot of job creation and has yet to reach the goal that he sort of pledged in his campaign and that this would help him to reach this job goal.
