Major milestone alert ????????????<\/p>\n

Crews have started pouring 1,500 cubic yards of concrete at Intel\u2019s Ohio One leading-edge #manufacturing<\/a> site. This is the next phase of construction for the Silicon Heartland, and a big step in developing a resilient semiconductor supply chain. pic.twitter.com\/99Gy5ON9W8<\/a><\/p>\n

The milestone marks the completion of the first phase of the project and the beginning of the next phase of construction for the $20 billion semiconductor facility in Licking County, located east of Columbus, Ohio.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>The Intel project spans nearly 1,000 acres, can eventually contain up to eight semiconductor factories and ranks as the <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>largest private-sector investment<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> in Ohio history.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Intel, a Santa Clara, California-based semiconductor chip manufacturer,\u00a0selected Rhode Island-based Gilbane Building Co. to manage the initial phase<\/a> of the project, which broke ground in September. The general contractor for the next phase has not yet been announced.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Despite a <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>68% drop in manufacturing starts<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a> in April, manufacturing projects remain strong year over year, largely because of massive sites like Intel\u2019s facility in Licking County.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Private sector companies have announced nearly $140 billion in investments in semiconductor production, supply chains and research and development to be made over the next decade, according to a <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>White House press release<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>. Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said during the groundbreaking ceremony in September that the $52.7 billion federal CHIPS Act played a critical role in allowing construction to move forward on the massive project.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The facility is Intel\u2019s largest construction project to date<\/span><\/span>, said Jackie Sturm, Intel\u2019s corporate vice president of global supply chain operations. Intel officials expect production to start in 2025.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
