“I’ll suffer through a year,” Feest said. “It’s just we buy all of this land, remove the people from it and now we’re making money from it. I’m a little uneasy with it.”

Claude Lois, village project manager on Foxconn, said the company is aware that the village is leasing the land and does not have a problem with that.

As part of the agreement, Lois said village personnel can still go on to the property that is being leased and will not have to pay for any potential crop damage.

Although the property has been zoned as a “business park” and no longer for agricultural uses, Lois said because the land was previously being used for agricultural work and was zoned agricultural, the farming can be grandfathered in to be in line with local ordinances.

Cornerstone agreement

After the Wisconsin Department of Transportation took legal action against Cornerstone Pavers to move its concrete batch plant in Raymond, it is possible that plant could be coming to Mount Pleasant, specifically in at the corner of the East Frontage Road and Highway 11 in Area II of the Foxconn development.
