COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — Intel has announced adjustments to the construction timeline for its semiconductor manufacturing facilities in New Albany.
Naga Chandrasekaran, executive vice president and chief global operations officer, informed employees of the revised completion dates for the Ohio One Mod 1 and Mod 2 projects.
The company plans to complete the construction of Mod 1 in 2030, with operations beginning between 2030 and 2031. Mod 2 is expected to be completed in 2031, with operations starting in 2032.
“I continue to be impressed by the progress you are driving on our Ohio One campus,” Chandrasekaran said. “We have come a long way since construction began, and I am grateful for all that you’ve accomplished to lay the groundwork for our future as we make Ohio one of the world’s leading hubs of advanced semiconductor manufacturing.”
The company achieved a significant milestone last quarter with the completion of the “basement” level of the fab, allowing work on the above-ground structure to commence. Chandrasekaran highlighted the transformation of the campus and the broader impact on the community.
“You are also doing so much beyond our campus to support Ohioans in our neighborhood and across the state by creating education and workforce development initiatives, building local business partnerships, and volunteering and investing in the community,” Chandrasekaran added.
Chandrasekaran emphasized a prudent approach to the project, saying, “We are taking a prudent approach to ensure we complete the project in a financially responsible manner that sets up Ohio One for success well into the future.”
Despite the adjusted timeline, Intel remains committed to Ohio, continuing to hire and train Ohioans at its facilities in Arizona, New Mexico, and Oregon. Chandrasekaran expressed gratitude for the support received from local and state officials, including Gov. Mike DeWine and U.S. Sen. Jon Husted, as well as community members.
“We remain committed to investing in the community and fostering long-term partnerships that drive growth and opportunity,” Chandrasekaran said. “Projects of this scale and complexity always come with twists and turns along the way, but the end state is one we will all be proud of for decades to come.”
