The City of Austin announced today that Samsung Electronics will be
expanding its operations in Austin with an expected $3.6 billion foreign
direct investment for Phase Two construction of its semiconductor
fabrication plant.
With the expansion, Samsung is committed to creating 400 to 500 permanent
jobs as well as 1,000 construction jobs for the Austin area. Samsung
expects to start construction this summer.
"We’re excited to see that Samsung will be expanding their operations in
our great city," said Mayor Lee Leffingwell. "It’s no secret Austin is a
great place to do business, and this type of investment speaks volumes
about our city’s image on the national and international level."
According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Samsung’s investment is the
largest private capital investment so far this year and is among the
nation’s ten largest in the last decade. The City’s current economic
incentive agreement requires that Samsung invest at least $2.5 billion in
their 300 millimeter fabrication facility by December 2010. Samsung met
that requirement two years early in December 2008.
At its facility, Samsung plans to manufacture state-of-the-art large-scale
integration (LSI) microchips. These chips are used within a range of
technologies, including smart-phones and associated applications.
Samsung’s revamped fabrication plant will also serve as a center for the
research and development of new and cutting-edge technologies.
"The City of Austin has produced a number of economic incentive agreements
in the past year as companies such as Facebook Inc., Legalzoom, and Hangar
Orthopedics have all chosen to expand their operations to Austin," said
Kevin Johns, Director of the City’s Economic Growth and Redevelopment
Services Office.
These three agreements alone are anticipated to provide over a thousand
jobs for the Austin area and Samsung’s expansion is expected to increase
that number.
The announcement by Samsung comes at a time when Austin is gaining
national recognition as a desirable place to live and conduct business.
Kiplinger Personal Finance Magazine recently ranked Austin at the top of
its list for "Best Cities for the Next Decade" based on criteria such as
livability and business environment for entrepreneurs and job seekers.
This direct foreign investment from Korean-based Samsung highlights the
City’s recent Global Commerce Strategy Initiative. The initiative is aimed
at increasing economic activity on the international level, focusing
especially on emerging markets and technology.
"I applaud our Economic Growth and Redevelopment Services Office for their
work in creating a receptive environment for these types of foreign direct
investments," said City Manager Marc Ott. "Samsung’s expressed effort to
expand their operations in Austin represents progress in our goal of
becoming the best managed City in the country."
Austin is 2010’s best city for job growth,
thanks to its favorable business climate, growing clean energy and
technology initiatives, and collaboration between university and business
researchers.
Ranking cities for their job markets isn’t an exact science. And that may
be why there’s plenty of disagreement about which cities have enough job
openings to earn a spot below the Texas capital on lists of best cities
for jobs.
Most economists agree the cities with the best employment opportunities
have diversified economies, high-wage employers and well-educated
workforces.
They also agree that you have to be careful when reviewing lists of where
to find a job because some areas have boom-and-bust cycles that make them
hot one year and cold the next. (Is anyone moving to Las Vegas this year?)
Judge a city based on a single year’s data, and you could end up moving
there only to find yourself seeking work in a declining local economy two
years later.
