John,

Last week, Governor Holcomb announced ANOTHER huge investment into Indiana’s economy!

SkyWater Technology is set to build a $1.8 billion state-of-the-art semiconductor research and development facility in partnership with Purdue University in West Lafayette.

This exciting new venture will bring 750 new high-paying jobs to Tippecanoe County and further bolster Indiana’s growing portfolio of HUGE investments.

Governor Holcomb joined Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers, Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, and executives from SkyWater Technology to make this announcement:

Governor Holcomb expanded on SkyWater’s partnership with Indiana:

“Days like today prove that Indiana’s investments in the economy of the future, infrastructure and talent development are cultivating an environment that enables innovators such as SkyWater to choose Indiana.

Our success and our mission to support industries of the future would not be possible without the incredible partnerships with our globally ranked universities, like Purdue University, helping us attract and retain quality, innovative talent.” – Governor Holcomb

John, massive companies are flocking to Indiana under Governor Holcomb’s leadership.

And earlier this week, Gov. Holcomb released a statement on the CHIPS-plus bill that was passed by the U.S. Senate and House, a bill that will keep America in the fast lane of the technology race and boost our country’s competitiveness globally:

"Last week, SkyWater, a major supplier of semiconductors to the Department of Defense, in partnership with Purdue University, announced a 600,000-square-foot semiconductor research and development production facility in West Lafayette, Indiana. The company’s ability to make an investment of this magnitude is reliant upon the passage of CHIPS-plus and federal investment to boost this critical industry sector. This exact legislation also invests in research at our great universities, workforce programs and tech-hubs tailor-made for our state.

"If the U.S. wants to be a leader in 21st century industries, semiconductors must be our first objective." – Governor Holcomb

Here in Indiana, we are leading the way for American advancement.

Thanks,

Holcomb Crew
