You do realize that back in 2011 when Construction was still ongoing that it was one of the largest (if not the largest) construction projects in the United States? (The facility is the size of six football fields)

The magnitude of this facility going in up here has the potential to usher in a new era of technology and skilled labor to this region never seen before.

The only downside to the project is the fact that the State bent over backwards and gave Global Foundries way too many tax incentives and breaks to come to Malta.
