Intel’s difficult year is continuing to be felt, as the tech company has announced yet another delay in opening its $28 billion chip manufacturing plants in Ohio. The Ohio One campus was announced at the 2022, slated to be what Intel called the “largest silicon manufacturing location on the planet.” Since then, the massive project has seen numerous setbacks.

At the time of its announcement, Ohio One was to begin production in 2025. Last year, due to construction delays, Intel shifted its timeline to say that the Ohio plants wouldn’t become operational until 2027 or 2028. Now, the company is saying that the first plant in the Ohio One campus will become operational between 2030 and 2031, with the second plant to follow in 2032.
“We are taking a prudent approach to ensure we complete the project in a financially responsible manner,” said Naga Chandrasekaran, executive vice president, chief global operations officer and general manager of Intel Foundry Manufacturing in a message to employees. “We will continue construction at a slower pace, while maintaining the flexibility to accelerate work and the start of operations if customer demand warrants.”
