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. People in New Albany just dream of not having to be around dirty Columbus poor people, so they want their own airport.

January 13, 20232 yr In general, the comments are more fluff. Most of it has already been known. I Understand his connection to the project but he is barely an authority on alot of what he said beyond the actual construction of the facility. He basically pulled headlines and speculations from anywhere and everywhere. 'You'll be known as 'central ohio' and not 'columbus' now'.... ok, dude... tell that to Northeast Illinois And they probably ought to stay out of promoting rail unless they are going to pony up the money for dedicated passenger rail lines. I'll leave it at that. The rest can be hashed out in the rail threads lol

January 22, 20232 yr 'Changing their tune,' Johnstown residents reflect on year since Intel's announcement "When Intel first announced it would open up shop in Licking County, some of the residents living in the area weren't jumping for joy. After 365 days, those residents now said they have begun embracing the changes and the opportunities Intel will bring. "What a year," Johnstown resident and business owner Tiffany Hollis said. "I keep saying it feels like we are living life in fast forward. This is so life-changing. It is. But not in a bad way." Coppel said among those questions was also excitement for opportunity. Over the last year, he said he's seen his town adapt to the changes. "It’s been a whirlwind of a year," Coppel said. "But I feel like the sentiment around town has started to change. We’ve really turned a corner in Johnstown." Hollis said she's already seen a jump in business at her restaurant, Dashing Diner, including members of Intel's team. "A lot of the Intel people come here," she said. "They’ve become regulars. I look forward to seeing them come through the door. They've been great neighbors and community partners."

More like the CHIPS and Science Act which is rooted in strengthening American supply chains and boosting domestic manufacturing in the latest nanometer-scale chips. With so much production based in Taiwan, that lends itself to instability because of the looming China situation. A similar boom because of CHIPS is happening just outside of Syracuse because of a more recent announcement for a chip fab shop.

January 24, 20232 yr Not to be that guy, but that's the naming convention that they use for most of their fabs. Their Chandler campus is CH1 to, like, CH7 or whatever number fab they are on. So my assumption is that each fab will be, like, OH1.

I know that's done a lot of the times for security and safety purposes in huge buildings like this. All the doors will probably also be numbered with a # then either N, S, E or W depending on which side of the building it's on in relation to its cardinal direction. Just makes it easier that they can tell emergency services to go to OH3 door 7S or something like that. Also makes it a lot easier to coordinate safety drills and other similar activities.

January 24, 20232 yr Intel Releases Updated Renderings of Newly Dubbed “Ohio One” Project Work on the new $20 billion Intel manufacturing plant officially kicked off last September, but as of this week, the project has an official name. “Ohio One” is what the New Albany plant will be called, once completed in Licking County. “This is the largest single private sector company investment in Ohio’s history, and we expect the project to take about three to five years to complete,” stated Jim Evers, Intel Ohio General Manager, in a blog post update yesterday. “While this first year has been widely focused on site preparation – from leveling the land and digging new utility trenches – we’ve made some significant progress starting at the ground up.” More below: https://columbusunderground.com/intel-releases-new-renderings-of-newly-dubbed-ohio-one-project-we1/ "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers

January 31, 20232 yr Here's why New Albany fabs aren't on Intel's expense chopping block Even though Intel Corp. is slashing some $3 billion in 2023 expenses amid declining sales and projections of continued financial losses, construction continues at its $20 billion semiconductor manufacturing complex in New Albany. The California chipmaker is "committed to innovating and investing in Ohio," the company told Columbus Business First. "Intel has historically invested during downturns," spokeswoman Linda Qian said via email. "We are building for the future." Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) last week reported both fourth-quarter and year-end sales well below its projections as well as a deeper-than-expected fourth quarter loss.

February 5, 20232 yr Couple interesting Intel related quotes in an article out yesterday in CBF: "To put the investment into context, the $20 billion Intel is spending is more than entire valuation of Licking County, according to Rick Platt, CEO of the Heath-Newark-Licking County Port Authority. “If you add up the tax value of everything in Licking County right now – every building, every piece of property, every home – it’s less than $20 billion,” Platt said. “One company is making an investment that exceeds our entire valuation. That’s mind-blowing.” The influx of suppliers looking for space has been good news for commercial real estate brokers and developers such as Park Shai of Shai-Hess Commercial Real Estate, based in nearby Granville. He said his business has seen a 68% boost in the past year. “The demand is incredible,” Shai said. “Licking County especially is pretty much on fire.” “I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and I would have never guessed we’d see this kind of market,” Shai said. “The market today is on a level we’ve never seen.” “Everything is going like gangbusters,” Shai said. “And this is just the beginning.” Full article found here: https://www.bizjournals.com/columbus/news/2023/02/03/intel-impact-one-year-later.html
February 12, 20232 yr Licking County Intel traffic study shows exponential growth on U.S. 62, Mink and others "Projected traffic numbers from the Intel development in western Licking County are mind-boggling. A doubling or tripling of traffic on U.S. 62 west of Johnstown. County roads with a few hundred vehicles a day carrying more than 7,000 in two years. By 2050, there will be 38,000 vehicles per day on U.S. 62 on the edge of Johnstown and 40,000 near the county line. Mink Street traffic will more than quadruple to 30,000 vehicles a day. Clover Valley Road will have 28,000 and Duncan Plains 21,000. In just two years, when Intel begins production, Green Chapel Road just south of Johnstown will skyrocket from 300 vehicles today to 8,400. Clover Valley Road will similarly grow from 450 vehicles a day to 7,500 in 2025. "It's like dropping two cities of Gahanna out in the cornfield," TID Projects Director Bill Lozier said at Wednesday's TID meeting, when the study was presented. The study is for roads outside the Intel development, but within 10 minutes of Intel site, bordered by Green Chapel Road, Mink Street, Clover Valley Road and about halfway between Miller Road and Jug Street." https://www.dispatch.com/story/news/2023/02/12/licking-county-intel-traffic-study-shows-exponential-growth-in-area/69885872007/
February 12, 20232 yr The traffic increase is certainly dramatic but not crippling. Per MORPC, Hudson between Summit and Indianola gets about 26K cars per day and it’s handled by 4 narrow lanes. High St at Broadway gets about 21K and Broadway west of High gets about 16K - so roughly 37K cars through that intersection per day? Seems very doable out in the country with new, over-engineered roads.

February 16, 20232 yr On Intel wages, employment and more "Bill LaFayette’s annual economic forecast for Central Ohio illuminates the impact of the $20 billion investment on the region. For more than 20 years, Bill LaFayette has delivered his economic forecast for Central Ohio for the coming months at the Columbus Metropolitan Club. LaFayette, the well-respected owner of Regionomics, did the same in January in front of a full house at the Boat House Restaurant on the edge of downtown." On Construction Jobs he says: "Hundreds of construction workers are already on the site working. More than 900 Intel job openings were posted in November 2022. At the peak of construction, Intel will need 7,000 construction jobs. “If we stay on our best behavior, we could wind up with six to eight more fabs opening over the next decade.” That would translate into 12,000 to 15,000 construction jobs by the mid-2030s. “Needless to say, this is going to be transformative for our region and for the state.” And on Job Creation: "Intel data shows that at current Intel operations in Arizona, Oregon, and New Mexico, each direct Intel job spun off 5.1 to 5.7 more indirect ones. He projected the same, if not more, job creation in Ohio, citing the state’s larger and more diverse economy than those three states. And the bulk of those indirect jobs should be in Central Ohio since Intel wants its primary suppliers to locate near the fab plants. He estimated possibly 67,000 indirect jobs “when all said and done.” He added, “Jobs we would not have had had Intel not started operations.” The entire CMC presentation can be found here: https://siliconheartland.com/on-intel-wages-employment-and-more/ Edited February 16, 20232 yr by Luvcbus

He said the items – which can be 23 feet high, the length of half a football field, and weigh a million pounds – will be trucked from Manchester on the Ohio River and up through central Ohio to Licking County. “They’ll be massive,” said Adams. He said the big items cannot use freeways because they will not fit under the overpasses, so side roads will be used. This will involve raising traffic signals and electric lines to allow the humongous items to pass under them. https://www.columbusmessenger.com/traffic-could-get-a-bit-crazy-in-groveport-this-summer.html
