Betcha the planning started under President Trump.
I’m kinda partial to the ridges cheddar/sourcream flavor ones myself.
What they typically won't tell you is that billions upon billions of taxpayer incentives are paid to these companies.
From the article:
The project, which will be Intel’s first new manufacturing site in 40 years, eventually could involve eight factories and $100 billion in investment over the next decade including Intel and its suppliers and partners. Construction is expected to start this year, with the first chips being produced by 2025.
30 other companies are going to build nearby to support Intel.

Very good news for Ohio.
It’s astonishing that Ohio could attract such investment.
While simultaneously Intel has (recently reported) a joint venture in China with the CCP on advanced research on next generation chips. Buying political protection at home while selling out to dictators abroad.
Needed to happen 20 years ago. We can not depend on aggressive, unstable, enemy regimes for critical parts and supplies.
I wonder how long it’ll take for Brandon to screw this up...
I have been told repeatedly here on FR that the only possible way we would ever have enough chips was to maintain a nuclear umbrella for Taiwan. Anything, including WWIII with the Chicoms, to save Taiwanese chips. This alternative course of action seems like the obvious answer to me.
Intel used to have such a facility in Silicon Valley
Dead center, Columbus.
...and Taiwan loses one more reason for other nations to help defend it against the tyranny of Communist China.
Great news... For H1B workers.
Largest Chocolate Chip Factory In The World Outside Columbus Ohio.
It must be time to make some Cookies.
Interesting and good news for Ohio. Around my area in Bay City Michigan another chip maker is building a plant for production of silicon carbide wafers.
