"[It means a lot to me because it would be] making a part of history," Franklin said.
The info session is expected to give more than 100 Racine County-based subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers a chance to learn more about construction-related business opportunities for phase one of the Foxconn project.
“Our goal is to have as much information and communication out to Wisconsin and Racine County companies so that we can address any barriers of information, scale, and so on so that they can participate," Racine County Economic Development Cooperation Director, Jenny Trick said.
Jenny Trick and Racine County Executive, Jonathan Delagrave, who hosted the event, said this conversation is important because they want those living in the area a chance to contribute to this historical development.
