In January 2022, Intel announced it would build its most advanced semiconductor manufacturing facility in Ohio. Three years later, the project is well underway, with major construction milestones marking steady progress toward bringing leading-edge chipmaking to the region.
Through 2025, more than 9.4 million work hours have been completed on-site, supported by hundreds of craft workers. Massive volumes of concrete, rebar, conduit, and piping have been installed. While construction continues, the scale and pace of activity already reflect the transformational impact this project will have on the state.
Intel’s investment is already bringing high-paying jobs to Ohio and directing millions into education and talent development. The project continues to attract suppliers and tech companies, further accelerating the momentum and strengthening the region’s innovation ecosystem.
Intel’s decision to build in Ohio was also a strategic step toward securing America’s semiconductor supply chain. By expanding domestic chip manufacturing capacity, the U.S. is better positioned to support economic competitiveness and national security needs. The CHIPS Act plays a critical role in this effort, providing essential funding to strengthen domestic capabilities and reduce reliance on foreign production of advanced semiconductors.
