GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- Foxconn Technology Group announced Monday that two Green Bay firms, ISG and DeLeers Construction, have been selected to work on the downtown WaterMark building project.

The project involves the design and construction Foxconn Place Green Bay’s 4,800 square-foot second floor located at the WaterMark Building in downtown Green Bay, Foxconn stated in a news release Monday.

According to Foxconn's news release, ISG is an architecture, engineering, environmental and planning firm that expanded its Green Bay office presence to the WaterMark building earlier this year. DeLeers Construction is a contractor in Brown County.

Foxconn says both firms will start with the conceptualization of the design for Foxconn, followed by a submission to the City of Green Bay for their approvals. Following approval, Foxconn will begin construction on the interior build. Foxconn says the building will house Foxconn events, including upcoming Foxconn Tech Talks and recruitment drives, and be a space for community engagement.

This announcement comes more than a year after Foxconn pledged to bring hundreds of jobs to the old WaterMark building. Since then, the building hasn’t seen much activity.
