Using tax credits supplied through the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority financing, Winsert plans to create up to 92 jobs, in addition to retaining 156 existing positions. With its current job creation plans, Winsert is eligible for up to $880,000 in tax credits.
Winsert will also receive a $19 million allocation in federal New Market Tax Credits from Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, as a part of the Wisconsin Community Development Legacy Fund. The credits will be sold to investors with the firm using those funds for plant expansion.
