Well, I saw in the news release that it said Wisconsin and "Pleasant Prairie", so I immediately thought about Foxconn. But with a little bit of investigation, I find that the Foxconn deal was in "Mount Pleasant". This location is at an existing facility (maybe they will expand it?) in an existing industrial park (looks like warehouses and light industrial) about 1 mile north of the Illinois/Wisconsin border.
There is a facility in this industrial park that has a rail spur to an existing rail line and the road into the park already has a connection to Interstate 94 about 1 mile away. The potential nearby workforce is large, the county has an active transportation system, etc.
If it works out as planned it is an excellent use of existing infrastructure.
