Hemlock's Big Boost: $325M to Silicon-ize America

Hemlock Semiconductor in Michigan just secured a hefty $325M federal grant through the CHIPS and Science Act, aiming to ramp up hyper-pure polysilicon production—the backbone of modern electronics. This expansion will create over 1,000 construction and 180 manufacturing jobs in Saginaw County, boosting the local economy and cutting dependency on foreign suppliers. Michigan is also investing $40M locally, while Hemlock leads the US as the sole domestic polysilicon powerhouse. Silicon dreams are alive!
