State and local officials, along with Foxconn general contractor M+W|Gilbane, have set the location for the first in a series of informational sessions for companies interested in bidding on Foxconn construction work.
The first session will be held from Tuesday, April 3, at Foutain Hall, 8505 Durand Ave. in Sturtevant. Registration starts at 1 p.m. and the informational session will run from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. The event is free, but advanced registration is required and available here.
