PROJECT PIPELINE Industrial dominance US goes all-in on semiconductor fabrication
A semiconductor chip fabrication plant is under construction in Taylor, Williamson County. The project aims to expand production capacity and manufacture advanced technology products for applications such as mobile devices, 5G, high- performance computing (HPC) and AI. The development is expected to create 2,000 high-tech jobs and at least 6,500 construction jobs.
New fabrication campus
A mega fabrication campus is proposed for development in Clay, Onondaga County. The initiative is intended to extend benefits beyond the semiconductor sector by reinforcing US technological leadership, enhancing economic and national security and promoting innovation. Micron Technology is leading the construction of a semiconductor fabrication facility in New York, US. The development will span 557ha and include production and assembly units, a warehouse, administrative facilities and the installation of machinery along with safety and security systems. The project will be executed in phases. Plans include 222,967m2
of cleanroom
space, consisting of four cleanrooms of 55,741m2
each, supporting four fabrication
units. The first phase focuses on Fab 1, backed by an investment of $20bn. WSP and Trinity Consultants are serving as consultants, Jacobs Engineering as engineering consultant, Ramboll as engineering design consultant and AKRF as environmental consultant for the project. The project is expected to generate 9,000 jobs within the fabrication facilities and over 40,000 construction and supply chain jobs.
In April 2024, Micron secured a $6.1bn federal grant under the CHIPS and Science Act. A draft environmental impact statement (EIS) was completed and submitted to the Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA) in June 2025. Gilbane Building was appointed in August 2025 to oversee site preparation, and final environmental impact statement (FEIS) approvals were obtained from OCIDA in November 2025. Pending all required approvals, site
preparation and groundwork for Fab 1 are scheduled to begin in Q1 2026, with operations targeted for Q1 2029. Fab 2 is expected to be completed in Q4 2030, Fab 3 in Q3 2035, and the entire project by 2041.

Samsung Austin Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, is undertaking the project in Texas, US. The facility will cover 650,321m2
covering two advanced fabs for four- nanometer and two-nanometer chips along with an R&D centre.
In December 2024, Samsung obtained $4.745bn in federal funding under the CHIPS and Science Act. Construction of the first fabrication plant is scheduled for completion in 2026, with the overall project completion targeted for 2028.
across 259ha and
include two advanced fabrication plants, an R&D centre, manufacturing and production spaces, a packaging facility, storage and warehouse areas, office space, parking and supporting systems. Samsung C&T and Yates Construction are acting as contractors, while C&Y Engineering is the structural engineer.
Originally valued at $17,000m, the investment was revised in 2024 to $37,000m,
Intel’s plans for expansion get the green light
An expansion project is under way at the Intel Ocotillo Campus located at 4500 S Dobson Rd, Chandler. The development involves two new factories, Fab 52 and Fab 62, aimed at increasing chip production capacity to meet growing demand for devices such as tablets and other electronics. The project is expected to create 3,000 operational jobs, 3,000 construction jobs, and 15,000 indirect jobs. Intel Corporation and Brookfield Corp
are jointly executing the expansion in Arizona, US. The project spans 283ha and includes two fabrication plants, cleanrooms, production and testing units, warehouses, infrastructure, machinery installation, safety systems and an underground transmission line. It is being developed in phases.
Jacobs Engineering serves as design consultant and Hoffman Construction as general contractor.
Construction began with a
groundbreaking ceremony in September 2021. In November 2024, Intel secured a $7,860m grant under the CHIPS and Science Act. Construction of Fab 52 was completed in October 2025.
Mizkan expansion plans
Mizkan Americas is expanding its existing plant at 1901 Ragu Drive in Owensboro, Kentucky, US. The project involves a 29,729m2
expansion,
including manufacturing and processing units, a warehouse, building improvements and installation of machinery and safety systems. The expansion is expected to add to the economy, creating an additional 44 operational jobs.
New boost for Vista Metals
Vista Metals is planning an aluminium casting facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky, US. The project will cover 6,967m2
on 40ha and will
include production and processing units, storage, loading and unloading facilities and safety systems. The development will proceed in phases to support growth in core markets.
