Ohio fabs (from 17)

ering a new generation of innovative prod-
ucts from Intel and serving the needs of
foundry customers as part of the compa-
ny’s IDM 2.0 strategy.

Educational partnerships
To support the development of the new
site, Intel pledged an additional $100 mil-
lion toward partnerships with educational
institutions to build a pipeline of talent and
bolster research programs in the region.

Planning for the first two factories will
start immediately, Intel said, with con-
struction expected to begin late this year.

Production is expected to come online in
2025, when the fab will deliver chips using
what Intel calls “the industry’s most ad-
vanced transistor technologies.”

First new site in 40 years
Ohio will be home to Intel’s first new ma-
jor manufacturing site in 40 years.

Located some 2,480 miles from Intel’s
Santa Clara, Calif. headquarters, the fabs
will be sited in the New Albany Interna-
tional Business Park. Amazon, Facebook
and Google are located there.

New Albany is located 15 miles northeast
for rates
of the state capital of Columbus. Most of
the city is located in Franklin County and
a small portion, which is being annexed,
extends into adjacent Licking County.

As the largest single private-sector invest-
ment in Ohio history, the initial phase of
the project is expected to create 3,000
Intel jobs and 7,000 construction jobs over
the course of the build.

It will also support tens of thousands of
additional local long-term jobs. next page
