I hope they are getting well paid to be working on this with winter coming and all. It being so windy and then so cold today reminded me of what people working in construction and related things have to deal with. It almost looks like a battlefield in Ukraine.

I can't be sure if the light hearted sarcasm I see in your post is there or not, or if you are actually complimenting the camera work for making it look like those (cool)colorized WW2 photos...I have zero skills at detecting nuance on line so I don't know how to respond to your post lol. *I do like the rugged battlefield look though. I wonder how many local residents there would be aghast and appalled at the "wanton urban expansion and degradation of their rural paradise" and all when seeing such pics?

We was actually saying the same thing when we were out there yesterday. It was very windy and even though they were actively watering it, it was extremely dusty. I had to get back in my car multiple times to clear my eyes. It was so dusty, most of the machines had their headlights on and you could still barely see them in the distance through the dust. The other person with me said it felt like one of those movies where people were first colonizing Mars or something. It was definitely kind of eerie out there yesterday. The spot where those three pictures was taken from is right where lots of them come to turn around. If you sit there long enough it feels like you're being invaded! It's definitely much more impressive to see in person though. The pictures definitely don't do it justice.

November 7, 20222 yr Couple quick ones from Intel. They've mounded even more areas off, so it's getting harder and harder to see much of the action- at least until vertical construction starts.
November 11, 20222 yr An update was recently released on when we can expect the rebuilding and widening of the all the streets near the Intel site to begin... The first two major projects to start construction will be: Project 1 • Mink Street: Worthington Road to Green Chapel Road • Jug Street: Harrison Road to Clover Valley Road • Clover Valley Road: Mink Street to Miller Road (new roadway between Jug St. and Mink St.) Project 2 • Green Chapel Road: US 62 (including widening on 62) to Mink Street • Clover Valley Road: Miller Road to Green Chapel Road New Albany expects to issue the Notice to Proceed for both projects by March 3, 2023 https://newalbanyohio.org/
November 14, 20222 yr We was out near Intel today. It felt like they may have moved on to the next phase of construction. There wasn't nearly as many earthmovers and scrapers on site. Today there were a lot more excavators than we've seen over the last few months.
November 15, 20222 yr A recent article in CBF talking about transportation improvements that are being planned/considered because of the Intel project mentioned this: "The Licking County Transportation Improvement District has several initiatives underway, including Intel-area road improvements. Other efforts center around Johnstown-area roadways, including a possible redirect of Route 62 around the city, as well as an Interstate 70/State Route 161 connector and a Thornwood Drive corridor from New Albany to I-70." That's the first I've heard of a possible connector built between 161 and I-70... Anyone hear anything else about this yet? For reference, you can find the entire article here: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2022/11/14/intel-central-ohio-planning-infrastructure-efforts.html
November 16, 20222 yr Recently some were wondering just how much money from the CHIPS Act would end up in Central Ohio for Intel's project(s)... According to this article out last week, the Federal Government will pour about $3 billion into the first phase with the potential to add another $3 billion towards later phases: From the article: "Intel recently broke ground on its Ohio-based "mega fab", which will cost $20 billion in its first phase and potentially up to $100 billion in total. The CHIPS Act has committed $3 billion of Federal funding for the first phase and potentially up to $6 billion in total. The project will also include job creation and funding for regional education." Full article found here: https://www.thestreet.com/investing/how-should-intel-navigate-the-coming-storms
November 16, 20222 yr I could be wrong, but i think this is what they might have meant by Thornwood Corridor??? This has been in the process for at least 5 years. The first phase of the "Thornwood Corridor" was completed with the brand new interchange at "Thornwood Crossing". Phase II is being fast tracked due to infrastructure issues. Phase III is the widening of Thornwood Dr. Once complete, it will connect SR 16 to 79/70 and opening up thousands or acres of undeveloped land for development. Phase I was building the brand-new Thornwood Crossing interchange here: Phase II is clearing trees and building a new bridge over Raccoon Creek, connecting Thornwood Crossing to Thornwood Dr. That phase is currently underway. Phase III is widening Thornwood Dr from 2 lanes to 4 lanes wide, all the way to SR79. The plan is to open up thousands of acres of land for future development. I know that the Port Authority is already planning a large brand-new Business/Industrial Park off of Thornwood Dr. Edited November 16, 20222 yr by OhioFinest

Right now trucks are probably going all the way east on 16 to where it meets 79 off to the northeast outside this map and then driving all the way down 79 through Heath to access the Heath and Hebron industrial parks. Or they have to make sure they are using 70 and come up from the South from the Buckeye Lake exit to get to the same spot. Would be a nice way to alleviate some truck traffic through the more pedestrian areas. If I remember correctly to, that yellow area is significantly bigger than it appears. It's an enormous tract of land, might be a bit hilly in spots though. Port Authority should have an absolute field day if they get control of it. They're actually quite good at attracting business, the guy who does it is super personable and is absolutely a huge factor in how successful they've been at drawing in new business in recent years.

November 20, 20222 yr An article out in Fortune today mentions Intel plans on partnering with Ohio community leaders to help prepare for the increased housing demand, although no detailed plans are available just yet... Intel’s plan for a $20B chipmaking hub in Ohio means an affordable housing problem: ‘Where are we putting everybody?’ "Where are we putting everybody?” asked Melissa Humbert-Washington, vice president of programs and services at Homes for Families, which helps low-wage workers find housing in a region already suffering a major shortage. The region has averaged about 8,200 building permits per year for both single-family and multi-unit buildings, even as job and population growth estimates predating the Intel project called for more than twice that, according to the Building Industry Association of Central Ohio. Across the country, a growing number of companies are responding to housing concerns by rolling out ambitious plans for thousands of units of new housing. Intel, too, looks forward to partnering with Ohio community leaders to prepare for the increased housing demand over the next few years, said Intel spokesperson Linda Qian, without providing details."

November 20, 20222 yr I was back in town this weekend and before I left I wanted to drive up and see the Intel site. CbusOrBust is right, for all of the earth moved, there isn't much to see thanks to the mounding by the fence. I was kind of looking forward to watching this thing grow out of the ground into something spectacular, but it looks like all we'll get to see are New Albany or Intel produced videos from time to time.

Did you go all the way around the entire site? There's definitely not very many places along Mink to see much, but there are a couple good spots along Green Chapel and one decent spot on Clover Valley just after you turn off of Green Chapel. The mounding around the site is a little annoying, but once vertical construction starts, it shouldn't get in the way too much.

I recently read that it will still be quite a while before we see vertical construction start because it will take a few months to pour the foundation. Apparently, each fab will be roughly five football fields long and they require the foundation to be about sixty feet deep, to eliminate vibration. So just for the first two fabs, they'll have to pour concrete sixty feet down covering the area of nearly ten football fields. That's a lot of concrete!

Then turn on Jug to Mink to Green Chapel to Clover Valley. That's probably my favorite route to see the most activity- Jug is definitely worth going down. Its already basically one big construction site from Beech to Mink- with multiple more projects about to kick off. When they start all the road construction around the site (in March/April) it's going to feel like a war zone out there! i can't wait!

November 26, 20222 yr The next phase of tree clearing and utility relocation is kicking off near the Intel site in anticipation of numerous upcoming road construction projects: "Upcoming Utility Tree Removal Near Intel Site: A contractor for The Energy Cooperative will begin clearing trees for the relocation of utilities by the end of November, and possibly before Thanksgiving. This tree clearing will begin on Clover Valley Road and extend to Mink Street, and Green Chapel Street and is being performed in anticipation of upcoming road projects." https://newalbanyohio.org/answers/new-albany-silicon-heartland/
November 29, 20222 yr Intel names lead construction company for New Albany semiconductor fabs "Bechtel today announced it was selected by Intel to build Intel's new semiconductor manufacturing facilities in New Albany. Bechtel will design and build Phase 1 of the Intel Ohio project, a total of 2.5 million square feet of facility, including 600 thousand square feet of cleanrooms. Construction will require as much steel as eight Eiffel Towers and as much concrete as the tallest skyscrapers. Bechtel's ability to design for rapid advances in technology and deploy best-in-class construction innovation will help Intel realize its ambitions in the next generation of manufacturing." https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/bechtel-build-intels-semiconductor-manufacturing-183800785.html
November 29, 20222 yr A little update on the Intel project from The Dispatch: Where does construction stand? "Excavation work led by Gilbane has been underway at the site in New Albany since July, and Intel and Bechtel began working together months ago. Hunt Ryan said the next steps include building access roads and the infrastructure around the site to support the thousands of construction workers expected on the site as work ramps up. Concrete work will start in the second half of 2023, she said. Much of the initial work also includes underground piping the fabs will need. In the back half of the year, cranes and heavy machines are expected to move in as construction starts to go vertical and becomes more noticeable, Esfarjani said, assuming the weather allows and Bechtel can get the equipment and supplies it needs. During the height of construction Bechtel expects, 5,000 to 7,000 workers on site, she said. Hunt Ryan said the demand for workers at the project will outstrip local availability, and Bechtel will have to work to make the project "the site of choice" where professionals will want to come. Bechtel said it will build on its long relationship with building trades to attract workers here." https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/manufacturing/2022/11/28/bechtel-picked-to-build-new-albany-intel-factories/69674281007/

Chemtrade Logistics announced a $50 million expansion project at their Cairo facility to increase production of Ultrapure Sulphuric Acid, which is needed to clean semiconductor chips during the production process. As Ohio looks to become the Silicon Heartland with the Intel investment, more and more opportunities will present themselves in every corner of the state. “All parts of Ohio are going to benefit from this. Right here in Allen County, we are seeing a very visible, tangible, symbol of what that means. This really is a good thing for the state of Ohio and all of our communities for a long time to come.” Construction has already started on the Chemtrade expansion, and is expected to be up and running by 2024." https://www.hometownstations.com/news/chemtrade-breaks-ground-on-50-million-dollar-expansion-in-allen-county/article_617f5e28-7818-11ed-8894-83cd67500974.html

January 6, 20232 yr Intel ramping up New Albany project as federal money begins to flow "Construction of Intel, Ohio's biggest economic development project, will ramp up in 2023 just as billions of dollars of federal aid for the semiconductor business is expected to begin flowing. Gilbane, the company Intel has hired to do excavation work at its $20 billion project site in Licking County, has nearly completed its work, according to Intel. Engineering, construction and project management company Bechtel, hired by Intel to manage the project, will start construction work this winter. The Licking County project is expected to one day employ 5,000 to 7,000 construction workers. For now, though, the number will be much smaller, likely totaling a few hundred workers for the next few months as excavation wraps up and site preparation continues.

The original number was 8 fabs with some talk from Gelsinger of maybe going to 10. Now, if you believe this speaker, the number was 3 which has been increased to 6 fabs. What happened to the 8 or 10 fabs? From an October interview- Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger: "It takes about four years for one of these factories to come online. Our objective right now is to be online and start producing by 2026. My bigger objective isn’t just that I build the first two modules — which was what I did groundbreaking for a couple of weeks ago — but that as this entire movement and our Foundry Services build that I then go build modules three, four, five, and six over time. That is the vision that we have laid out. Yes, building is underway, and we are pretty excited to get it in place."

I just assumed they're talking about the new terminal that's been in the planning stage for awhile now... https://www.axios.com/local/columbus/2022/04/29/columbus-airport-new-terminal-opening-2027

There are definitely people out there who don't understand the difference between an airport and a terminal, and to them a new terminal is a new airport.

Since the announcement was made, people out in this area have been talking about a rumored new airport being built near the site like it was fact. Intel picked the site not just for a lack of seismic activity, but also other vibrations from sources like trains and planes. So, no, Intel is not asking for a new airport to be built near the area that they specifically sought out due to the lack of a near by airport.
