An Ohio union leader and his members are feeling frustrated following the announcement that Intel is delaying its production timeline on a $20 billion semiconductor manufacturing facility.
The groundbreaking plant has been one of Ohio’s crowning achievements in recent years.
“The Intel plant is working great,” Gov. Mike DeWine told Statehouse reporter Morgan Trau in a one-on-one interview back in Dec. 2023. “This is really moving forward.”
DeWine and other Ohio leaders have continued to share their enthusiasm about having the first-of-its-kind factory right here in the Buckeye State.
Semiconductors are the chips behind e-commerce, social media, cars, computers and everything that utilizes digital technology, which nowadays is just about everything.
