TSMC plans to invest another $100 billion in Arizona to build four more chip factories in North Phoenix, bringing its total commitment in the state to roughly $265 billion.
Supporters say the expansion could bring thousands of jobs and strengthen Arizona’s tech industry. But residents near the site have already raised concerns about traffic, rapid development, pollution, and the amount of water and power the facilities may require.
TSMC says it is building systems to recycle much of the water used at its Phoenix operation, but four more factories could bring even more pressure to surrounding communities.
Do you think the investment is worth the impact it could have on North Phoenix?
