Hillsboro Mayor Steve Callaway Comments on $8.5 Billion in U.S. CHIPS Act Funding for Intel (Photo) - 03/20/24

"The City of Hillsboro extends our heartfelt congratulations to Intel and the tens of thousands of Intel employees here in Oregon on this CHIPS and Science Act award. We look forward to continuing our community’s role in supporting Intel and America's leadership in the semiconductor space. 

The people of Hillsboro greatly value Intel's continued local investments in its most advanced semiconductor facilities, including the world's first High NA EUV lithography equipment. 

These investments will continue to drive innovation and expand the semiconductor industry ecosystem throughout the Silicon Forest — solidifying the Gordon Moore Park campus at Ronler Acres as the premier hub, and heart of Intel's innovation, for leading-edge semiconductor research and development in the United States.

We are thankful for the many benefits Intel brings to our community and region, including great paying jobs, workforce development support like the Semiconductor Quick Start Bootcamp, and being the largest property taxpayer in Washington County — and the largest private employer in the State of Oregon.

This latest investment will support several thousand family-wage manufacturing and construction jobs. This will also provide our region — and especially our youth — the opportunity for generational wealth building.

Beloved community projects — like the Gordon Faber Sports Complex, Hondo Dog Park, the Hidden Creek Community Center, and many more Strategic Investment Program and Gain Share-funded projects — are largely possible due to Intel's presence in our community."

— Mayor Steve Callaway, City of Hillsboro
