Micron's possible Lockhart project finally getting some coverage:

Micron's plans for potential $80B semiconductor factory near Lockhart unveiled in incentives applications
Company says it hasn't 'made any final decisions regarding the location, timing or scope of any expansion plans'

Quote:
Nearly a year after Central Texas was announced as the site for a "once-in-a-generation" semiconductor factory, another one is being planned for the region.

In documents made public Aug. 24, Boise, Idaho-based Micron Technology Inc. revealed it could build a massive, eight-phased fabrication facility near Lockhart, a city about 35 miles southeast of Austin with a population of roughly 15,000 and a reputation as the barbecue capital of Texas.

Dubbed "Project Evergreen," the project has a minimum qualified investment of at least $80 billion. Incentives applications also pledge at least 80 jobs, although that represents the minimum required through the state's Chapter 313 program. If the company proceeds with the project, the job total would likely be much higher.

The facility would be located within a proposed reinvestment zone in Caldwell County and Lockhart Independent School District located in northern Caldwell County northwest of Lockhart. Construction on the first phase would start in January 2023 and commence operations by the end of December 2026, according to the documents.
