Mount Pleasant is a village in Racine County, Wisconsin, United States.

It is located approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Milwaukee and 60 mi (97 km) north of Chicago.

The community was established as the Town of Mount Pleasant in 1842 when a small group of residents met to organize the settlement.

In 1972, Mount Pleasant adopted its zoning ordinance, which established significant locally controlled development.

In October 2017, Foxconn announced that it would build a $10 billion flat-panel TV campus in Mount Pleasant.

Mount Pleasant offered $860 million in tax incentives to attract Foxconn, borrowing funds to do so.

[8] A number of landowners sued to stop the village's use of eminent domain laws to benefit a private company.

[14] Even with only partial construction, estimates were that Foxconn would be the biggest tax payer in the county.

[17] Numerous critics[18] have cited the case of the Foxconn project as an example of some of the most egregious corporate welfare and as an abuse of eminent domain.

[19] As reported in National Review, "...[the worst] is when governments accompany subsidies with the eminent-domain seizure of citizens’ property...[as with the case of Foxconn in Wisconsin]..."[20] The Village of Mount Pleasant is governed by a six-member board of trustees and a village president.
