The really big box that won't build really big screens nearly complete

Props to Bruce Murphy for asking just what's to be built in Foxconn's Mt. Pleasant plant.

Foxconn’s 1 Million Square Feet; Of What?
Despite media claims, new facility unlikely to be a Gen 6 manufacturer. So what will it be?

Well, for one thing: It may occupy a million square feet, and be topped with massive roofing held up by walls perhaps measurable in city blocks - - but it won't have an old-timey sprinking system. 

And, mind you, the Gen 6 plant is already a reduction in scope from the cutting-edge Gen 10.5 plant hyped when the Walker-promoted Foxconn /subsidy/wetland-filling/litigation-shortcutting GOP hoopla and handouts were rolled out.

Perhaps best to consult Don Rumsfeld and his infamously distracting riff about known unknowns, etc., to avoid giving a straight answer during an Iraq War news conference.

I'm on record with a prediction: 

I have long-believed that Foxconn's buildings will be eventually sold and re-purposed for cookie-cutter production and assembly work in the industrial park corridor along I-94 North/South served by overbuilt new interchanges pushed through the Legislature by hometown party Boss Vos, as I wrote in February:

Even if Foxconn disappears, Sprawl King Vos is a winner

WI GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos managed in a state without two spare potholes-filling nickels to rub together to steer to and through his district a quarter of a billion federal and state road-and-interchange widening dollars that will trigger sprawl beyond bulldozed Mount Pleasant farms even if Foxconn never diverts a gallon of Lake Michigan water to produce a single big screen LCD TV.

I've been following the Foxconn story for more than 34 months.
