MADISON - Gov. Jim Doyle is traveling to
Italy and Tunisia for a series of business and government meetings.
Doyle's office announced the trade
mission on Wednesday, the same day he was departing for the trip. He was
scheduled to return on March 26.
Doyle was scheduled to meet with the
international ship building firm that owns Marinette Marine and Bay
Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay. His office says Doyle is working with them
to secure a U.S. Navy contract to build 10 combat ships in Wisconsin.
The contract is expected to be awarded this summer.
Doyle's office says he's also meeting
with several other Italian companies and their executives to discuss
potential investments in Wisconsin. He's got a series of other similar
meetings planned in Tunisia.
