Dispatch Editorial Board: The Intel delay is alarming. Here's why the project means so much. The changes were made so Intel can align its factory operation with market demand and better "manage our capital responsibly," Naga Chandrasekaran chief global operations officer and general manager of Intel Foundry Manufacturing wrote in a message to workers The changes will ensure Intel's Ohio fabs will be finished in a "financially responsible manner that sets up Ohio One for success," Chandrasekaran wrote "I wanted to be upfront and transparent with you all about our current plan In no way does this diminish our long-term commitment to Ohio," Chandrasekaran wrote "(W)e will continue to scale our hiring as we approach our operational dates and we remain excited about our future here." Intel's Ohio factories are part of a larger effort to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States a move that experts and government leaders have said is critical to national security Mike DeWine called the latest delay a "disappointment" but said Intel continues to "show commitment to the project." but the performance-based incentives are tied to multiple other benchmarks we'd like to have the plants open earlier rather than later," Tierney said "But we have every indication from Intel that they will open these plants in Ohio and that this is part of their long term strategy and on-shoring is part of their long term business plan." who as the former lieutenant governor worked with DeWine to bring the project to Ohio said Ohio's chip plants need to become a reality to ensure semiconductors are made in America Husted said he believes the factories will still happen "The market and geopolitical events can always impact the timing," Husted said "But with over $6 billion already invested in this site the state's private nonprofit development corporation echoed the confidence from the governor's office that Intel's project would move forward the state is committed to being a flexible partner with the chipmaker Making sure Intel's Ohio factories come to fruition is "essential to American national economic security and national defense," Englehart said "Although Intel’s timeline has moved to address market realities the commitment to creating at least 3,000 jobs and $20 billion in capital investment while continuing construction of its most advanced chip production fabs on Earth in Ohio remains unchanged," he said Construction at the factory site will not pause but will continue at a slower pace in the next few years Intel has the ability to speed up work if demand increases Intel was set to have has many as 7,000 construction workers on site While it's unclear what the latest delay means for those potential construction jobs there's plenty of other work available on other projects in central Ohio right now executive secretary-treasurer of the Columbus and Central Ohio Building and Construction Trades Council Hager said Columbus-area builders remain committed to bringing Intel's factories to fruition Whenever Intel is "ready to step on the gas," Hager said builders will be ready to ramp up as well "Delays happen in construction projects," Hager said "We're going to work with them together on this to make sure we get this done safely Intel has already started hiring Ohioans and training them at pre-existing company facilities in Arizona And local colleges and school districts have begun retooling programs and training students to join the workforce the company will need when its factories open In 2022, Intel said it would give $17.7 million over three years to fund research and training at more than 80 Ohio colleges and universities developing semiconductor education and workforce programs One Columbus CEO Kenny McDonald told The Dispatch he's not worried about the latest delay and how it could impact such training and research is part of a "long view" of how the company is helping to reshape central Ohio He said he hopes local colleges and schools persist in their programs through Intel's delays "I can't encourage them to stay the course enough," McDonald said "The reason we've kept our foot on the pedal is we believe this is going to be an incredible opportunity." The project's initial announcement led to massive upheavals in Licking County with land values skyrocketing around the project site near Johnstown Leaders in that community also undertook a large planning effort for how Intel would change the area with more residents and businesses the state invested millions to improve roads in the area to help traffic get to and around the site The delays are the latest in a long line of issues Intel has faced since it announced in 2022 that it was coming to Ohio Year over year, Intel's annual revenue was down 2% at the end of 2024 according to the company's financial reports Intel cut 15,000 jobs — or about 15% of its workforce — as part of a $10 billion global restructuring designed to boost profit and improve efficiency In December, shareholders filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California against 13 current and former Intel executives accusing them of violating federal law by allowing the company to make misleading financial statements Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger abruptly stepped down Dec. 1. The company named then-Chief Financial Officer David Zinsner and senior executive Michelle Johnston Holthaus as interim co-CEOs Intel has spent $3.7 billion since it broke ground in September 2022 Construction workers have poured more than 200,000 cubic yards of concrete and more than 20 cranes are currently operating at the factory site where the basement of at least one fab is already finished "Projects of this scale and complexity always come with twists and turns along the way," Chandrasekaran wrote "[B]ut the end state is one we will all be proud of for decades to come."
