Intel barely has the foundations down in Ohio.

They've been "building" for a while now. I don't see much change out there.

If the structure is fully enclosed, the internal work is extensive before equipment can be accepted. Maybe the outside doesn't look active because they are heavily focused on the inside? IDK, just spitballing.

I don't believe the water situation has been addressed

Water scarcity? TI's facility (used to be National Semiconductor 200mm fab) is the largest consumer of fresh water in Southern Maine. Good thing we have plenty.

That's a major faux pas in the plan if there wasn't a reliable source of water secured first. D'oh!

It's also worth pointing out that Intel isn't building any of this, it's all Brookfield Capital Partners. So Intel really has limited skin in the game here.

I haven't looked for a while, but when I ran by there this fall there wasn't any buildings. Just foundations. If I have some time I'll head up Mink Street and see what's there now.

The nearest water source would be Johnstown, a sleepy little burb with a sleepy little water plant. Columbus would probably have to plumb out there to get as much as they need.

There were stories about that when the project first started, but they all vanished.

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.

Posts that are amusingly bad may be moved to /s/HaveAPepsi and deemed "Coke." Batteries are not included, this offer void where prohibited by law, which is pretty much everywhere including the moon, no cash value save that which is in your pants pockets and will need to be given to us. By using this sub, you offer control of your soul to stupidbird who may use it for whatever purposes, up to and including the dark arts in which case your only recourse is to appeal to the council of evil and have your petition denied. Birds are not real. We’ll decide what will be on the contract. You’ll pay us to be allowed to do the work. You will make the product. Then you’ll give it to us, and it will be ours forever. If anybody buys it, we might give you some money. If you’re lucky. Or we might put it in a drawer and forget about it. In any event you will get nothing, and you will thank us for it. You understand that any breach of this agreement may invoke unspecified consequences of a dire nature, potentially affecting your being in ways beyond your comprehension. Proceed at your own peril. We've increased your synergy, but this sub cannot save you money if you own a parakeet. Parakeets are not real. All posts here are for informational purposes only and should not be taken as business or medical advice. Supplies are limited, this offer void after January 1, 1922 or when supplies are exhausted. Please put that down, don't stick that in there, and for the love of god please put on some pants, no one wants to see that. (c) 1988 Con-Troll, Inc, PO Box 12, Wrestlemania, MN.
