Computer chip manufacturer Intel has faced setbacks with its “Silicon Heartland” fab currently under construction outside New Albany, Ohio. But after protracted negotiations, $7.8 billion in federal grants are beginning to flow to Intel projects around the country.

The Biden Administration announced it released $7.865 billion in funding for Intel as part of its CHIPS Incentives Program.

Central Ohio business leaders are unfazed by the apparent wiggle room in Intel's Chips Act grant agreement on when the fabs open.
