The glass globe structure at the Foxconn Industrial Internet complex in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin — a striking symbol of the state’s ambitious but scaled-back high-tech manufacturing project.

The site has become emblematic of shifting industrial promises in the Midwest, where infrastructure outpaced production.
