Intel in Ohio

See the progress

Laying the groundwork for the future.

Talent. Infrastructure. A manufacturing legacy few states can match. That’s why Intel chose Ohio for its most advanced semiconductor manufacturing campus, the largest economic development project in state history.

For Ohio, the investment means high-paying jobs, millions directed into education and talent development, and a growing network of suppliers and tech companies choosing the region. It’s also a strategic step toward securing America’s semiconductor supply chain, strengthening economic competitiveness and national security.

One Step Closer to Ohio One

Construction at Intel’s Ohio One campus in New Albany continues to reach major milestones. In October 2026, crews installed the first major structural truss on the campus’s first fab, a visible step forward as the project moves into its next phase of construction.

Workers from 83 of Ohio’s 88 counties have logged more than 10 million work hours on the project, making Ohio One one of the state’s most active construction sites and a clear sign that the future of American chipmaking is being built here.

The Ohio Campus At-a-glance

3K new Intel jobs
$28B planned investment
2 new leading-technology semiconductor fabs
1st leading-edge semiconductor chip manufacturing facility in Ohio
7K construction jobs
10K indirect and support jobs
926 acre site in Licking County

Building a Talent Pipeline

Ohio One’s initial phase is expected to create 3,000 Intel jobs at an average wage of $135,000 and support tens of thousands of additional long-term jobs across Intel’s supplier and partner network. JobsOhio supports Intel with candidate recruitment marketing, events, and sourcing and pre-screening services, and Ohioans can explore opportunities through Intel Careers and JobsOhio Technician Path.

Intel has also committed $50 million to the Intel Semiconductor Education and Research Program for Ohio, which unites institutions across the state around hands-on learning in semiconductor fabrication. Through the program, Intel partnered with Ohio community colleges to create the industry’s first one-year semiconductor technician program.

Intel’s Higher Education Investment in Ohio

$23.4M invested in higher education
2300+ scholarships provided
4700+ summer students
8 projects by leading Ohio institutions
80+ collaborating higher education institutes
100+ faculty/teacher training
85+ curricula developed

Paving the Way for Growth

The Ohio Department of Transportation has committed $90 million over the next decade to infrastructure improvements that support Intel and the growth surrounding the site, including $66 million for local roadway projects in Delaware, Franklin, and Licking counties. The work includes reconstructing roadways, improving the safety and efficiency of intersections, and ensuring local roads have the capacity to meet the demands of this rapidly growing area.

Suppliers Join Intel at New Albany International Business Park

Ohio One sits within the 9,000-acre New Albany International Business Park, one of the largest strategically planned business parks in the country and the fastest-growing in the Midwest. Tech leaders have taken notice, with Amazon, Google, and Meta building data centers there.

Intel suppliers and supporting companies continue to choose New Albany and the surrounding region. Applied Materials, Lam Research, Ultra Clean Technology, Air Products, DSV, QTS, Lincoln Rackhouse, and dbt Labs are among the companies that have announced plans, with more in the pipeline. DSV, for example, invested $85 million in a 1.2 million-square-foot New Albany logistics hub designed with semiconductor requirements in mind. Intel’s own Ohio supplier network has grown from roughly 150 businesses at announcement to nearly 450 across the state.

Supporting Ohio’s Semiconductor Supply Chain

A leading-edge fab depends on far more than the building itself, and Ohio companies are ready to deliver. Ohio created the Supplier Consortium to help current and prospective Ohio suppliers position themselves for opportunities across the semiconductor supply chain. As Ohio One moves into its next phase of construction, JobsOhio continues to connect Ohio businesses with Intel and its growing network of suppliers, from precision component makers like Silfex to logistics leaders building capacity in Central Ohio.
