We have no competency in this area.' Intel reached out to Ohio regarding semiconductor factory 'This is a brand new industry for us in Ohio,' Husted said. Though Ohio has a long history as an industrial power, these will be first chip plants to be built in Ohio and maybe the Midwest. Even as Intel has pledged to move quickly, the process figures to take several years before the plants would be up and running.

Semiconductor companies have started the long process of developing new U.S. Intel has previously announced plans to build two more factories in Arizona, and Gelsinger has talked of additional investments that include creating a mini-city that could cost up to $100 billion with 10,000 workers and thousands more workers from suppliers. So, it’s a natural fit for Ohio State, along with our fellow institutions of higher education, to partner on this game-changing investment in semiconductor manufacturing,' said Kristina Johnson, president of Ohio State University, in a release Semiconductors are 'integral to a wide range of applications in which Ohio State is actively involved from a research perspective, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, vaccine development and more. To support a workforce equipped to deliver what the company and its suppliers will need, Intel also is committing $100 million to partnerships with local educational institutions including Ohio universities, community colleges and the U.S. State and company officials have not yet disclosed what economic incentives are involved in the deal.

Those companies include four that announced their intentions to establish a presence near Intel: Allentown, Pennsylvania-based Air Products, an industrial gas supplier semiconductor materials firm Applied Materials based in Santa Clara, California equipment supplier LAM Research of Fremont, California and Ultra Clean Technology, which specializes in contamination control, from Bridgeton, New Jersey. There are about 140 companies in Ohio that currently supply Intel. Another 250 acres will be set aside for suppliers.Ībout 30 companies that supply Intel are expected to set up shop at the site, creating even more jobs. Intel will use 926 acres and has an option to take that up 1,500 acres, DeWine said. The plants will be built on 1,776 of the 3,190 acres that New Albany is annexing from Jersey Township in Licking County.
