Intel’s investment in Ohio could have $100 billion impact

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The largest single private-sector investment in Ohio’s history could make the state home to one of the biggest semiconductor manufacturing sites in the world.

Intel’s initial $20 billion investment into two new factories in Licking County could grow to as much as $100 billion by the time the buildout is complete, according to the global technology company.

The first phase of the two-factory project is expected to create 3,000 Intel jobs and 7,000 construction jobs for Ohio.

The land, which spans approximately 1,000 acres, can accommodate a total of eight chip factories.

Microchip production at the new sites is scheduled to commence in 2025.
