Sad part is that Intel walked away from million-sq-ft chips fabs in both COLO SPGS, CO and Rio Rancho, NM.

I keep thinking those facilities should be making solar panels for the southwest, get us off of coal.

This is good news but before we pop the corks let's remember all the broken promises and especially what happened in Wisconsin with Foxconn. I hope that AZ did not give too much money to them to come here.

These incentives almost always are tied to performance (job creation) metrics. No money is given up front.

Taiwan Semi has bought land on the far north end of town for their chip plant, per the AZ Central paper.

Excerpts: "The company's $89 million bid was the only bid the state received at an auction on Wednesday for 1,129 acres of undeveloped land off Interstate 17 between Loop 303 and Carefree Highway. The bidding started at $89 million. The factory will anchor a massive new industrial park across from Ben Avery Shooting Facility in the mostly undeveloped area between Norterra and Anthem. ... The commitment to spend $12 billion building its factory, which will open by 2024 and employ 1,600 workers, in Phoenix has been lauded as a huge economic win for the city. ... This is the second major recent win for Arizona in this field — the first being Intel's $7 billion expansion in Chandler. ... The deal is not final, though. ... advanced fabrication plants such as this is an expensive, multiyear process that comes with some uncertainty. ... Phoenix still is working to finalize a development agreement with the company. The Phoenix City Council in November gave staff the go-ahead to move forward with an agreement that would commit the city to spending $205 million to build infrastructure that will connect the site to the city, such as streets, sidewalks and water connections. The company could also be banking on federal assistance that is still on shaky ground. A federal program called Chips for America would, in part, provide significant tax credits to semi-conductor companies that build in the United States. The proposed program was tacked onto the pending National Defense Authorization Act, which the U.S. House of Representatives passed on Tuesday, ...

Forgotten I had posted about this back in May! My first guess was pretty good - I 17/Deer Valley - although I really did sort of think the Laveen area near the new 202 was in contention also. Maybe it was.

In any case - very good news for AZ and Phoenix.
