Intel confirms plans for huge Oregon factory
Intel acknowledged late Monday it will soon begin building a massive new semiconductor factory in Hillsboro, which will surely run in the billions of dollars and rank among the largest capital projects in Oregon history.
The company told about 50 residents living near its Ronler Acres campus that it will build a third phase of its massive D1X manufacturing complex, confirming a report last month by The Oregonian/OregonLive. Additionally, Intel said it plans a new technology building to support the factory with emergency generators, utilities and additional parking.
Intel was vague on many details, including the project’s exact size and timing. Hillsboro says the chipmaker recently submitted construction permitting applications but the city has yet to fulfill a public records requests for the documents.
Sources in Oregon’s construction industry say Intel has indicated it hopes to begin construction during the first half of the year but the chipmaker would only say it plans to start work in Hillsboro sometime in 2019.
