Intel's $20 billion New Albany complex is the single largest new semiconductor manufacturing investment in American history, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity for Ohioans to enter the chip industry.
Ohio's Intel project received $8.5 billion in CHIPS Act grants, guaranteeing sustained buildout momentum and ensuring that technician and engineer hiring will continue at scale for years to come.
Ohio's cost of living is among the lowest of any emerging semiconductor state, meaning competitive chip industry wages translate into exceptional real purchasing power for workers in the Columbus region.
