Intel has reached a visible construction milestone at its Ohio One site in New Albany, Ohio, with the installation of the first major structural truss for the company’s first fab on the campus. Coincidentally, this is not too far (30 minutes) from where the recent Patrick and Jeff Geerling at Micro Center Columbus, Ohio happened. We saw this photo as part of an Intel release around construction and tool installation in Arizona for Fab 62, and a commitment to US manufacturing at other sites like Oregon and New Mexico, but this just seemed cool so we decided to do something a bit different for that announcement since we had not covered the truss installation.
Intel’s Ohio One US Manufacturing Push
The Ohio One project was announced in January 2022, with Intel saying production would start in 2025. The 1,000-acre site east of Columbus was part of a broader plan to expand domestic manufacturing capacity using state and federal funding alongside Intel’s capital investment.
Intel’s US expansion received significant federal backing through the CHIPS Act. In March 2024, Intel and the White House announced a preliminary memorandum of terms for up to $8.5 billion in direct funding, along with investment tax credits and low-interest loans, to support fab construction across Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio, and Oregon. Intel and the White House said the funding was expected to create around 10,000 Intel jobs and another 20,000 in the construction sector.
Intel continues construction on its sixth high-volume manufacturing facility at Fab 62 in Arizona, near STH. That site, like Ohio One, represents a long-term bet on US-based leading-edge production…
