Unlike an Enterprise Zone, which until recently was the agency’s most potent economic development tool, the new zone requires that Foxconn select a third-party accountant approved by WEDC to verify the total investment and job creation at the facility, which could break ground as soon as next spring.

A contract has not been finalized between WEDC and Foxconn. Before voting, the board will review a staff underwriting report that details the terms of the agreement and allows WEDC staff to go forward with finalizing the contract, WEDC spokesman Mark Maley said.

The board won’t review or vote on the actual contract, Maley added.

In an interview with the Wisconsin State Journal, Carpenter, who voted against the Foxconn bill, expressed frustration that the board wouldn’t be able to review the contract details.

He said he received the first draft of the underwriting document Friday, and then received two revisions on Monday.

“There’s no way I could swear on a Bible and say I knew exactly what was in that staff report,” Carpenter said.
