chip factory. IIRC, Intel was getting infrastructure funds and a fat tax abatement, not to mention the estimated 7,000 contracted souls that will be needed to build and furnish it and up to 3,000 future employees at its expandable site.
My daughter's FIL in CA always said rust-belt Ohio was a foreign country. Maybe he meant the low wages and used home real estate values? Haha, the developers are planning many new single family homes in the $450K to $700K range for downsizers and rentals around here continue to escalate in cost and dry up in "hot markets" at every prime rate rise.
