It totally makes sense to provide more direct incentives to the other end of the spectrum. What if Wisconsin could tell Foxconn that it's offering to forgive a portion of all student debt for engineering degrees in the colleges around the area? Or that it would reimburse citizens for technical learning courses or training programs for likely positions in the area? Or if Wisconsin was willing to forgive state income tax for Foxconn employees for a certain number of years (which seems to amount to between 5-6% of income)?

All strategies that increase the attractiveness of the area by actually making the area a better resource pool over time, and in a way that helps citizens.
