Semiconductor production facility expansion in Lehi, Utah was pushed by passage of federal CHIPS Act

The U.S. Commerce Dept. launched first funding opportunity for semiconductor chip producers seeking to build, expand or modernize plants using money from the Chips and Science Act. 

US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says as federal financial incentives for semiconductor production become available, project workers are in short supply, but builders say credits don't fully support their development

President Biden has said he supports the bill and is expected to sign it into law.
