| Site of Intel's new fab in New Albany, Ohio |
Intel is building a new microchip fabrication factory in New Albany, Ohio. They announced their plan a year ago. Amazon has purchased 400 acres there as well. New Albany has come a long way from when I used to pass through there.

One of the big challenges of building a fab in a small city is finding the 5,000+ construction workers needed to build it. This graphic says 5K, but it may be out of date. I read somewhere that it takes 11,000 electricians to build a fab.
