When did construction start?
In July 2022 the initial construction work began on Ohio One chip plant, which involved preparing the site, for utility connections. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in September of that year and it had the honor of President Joe Biden’s presence.
What happened in first year?
In its first year, Intel primarily concentrated on getting the site ready. This involved tasks, like leveling the land and excavating utility trenches. In total, around 1.7 million cubic yards of earth, aggregate, lime, and other materials were moved by excavators.
Construction on the complex began to progress as workers started pouring concrete in May. The initial foundation pour, which covered an area of 2.5 million feet came after months of underground utility work.
To commemorate the year since the Intel announcement of the Ohio plant, the company unveiled a set of visuals depicting the envisioned appearance of the campus upon completion. They also revealed the name, of this project; Ohio One. |
