MILWAUKEE (AP) — Foxconn Technology Group has selected some key companies to begin building its massive flat screen manufacturing complex in Racine County.

The Taiwanese electronics company said Tuesday it has selected general contractor and engineering consultants with strong ties to Wisconsin to begin construction of the $10 billion manufacturing center that could eventually employ as many as 13,000 people.
