The U.S. continues to gain ground on other countries’ manufacturing dominance a year after President Joe Biden signed the $52 billion CHIPS and Science Act in August 2022.
The renewed push to revive American manufacturing after decades of offshoring has led to over $866 billion in private company investment, according to the White House. The multibillion-dollar investments scattered across the country range from biotechnology facilities and chip fabrication plants to electric vehicle battery factories and clean energy projects.
Some major manufacturing projects added to this page recently include a $525 million Polar Semiconductor plant in Bloomington, Minnesota, a $294 million Boviet Solar manufacturing facility in Greenville, North Carolina, and a $140 million Green New Energy Materials project in Denver, North Carolina.
The map also lists the contractors working on these projects when they are available. Some of the notable wins since the last update include:
