Governor DeWine, Lt. Governor Husted issue statement on retirement of Intel's Pat Gelsinger

Governor Mike DeWine and Lt. Governor Jon Husted have issued the following statement on the announcement that Intel's Pat Gelsinger has retired.

“We want to wish former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger the best in his retirement. Pat has been the driving force in choosing Ohio as the site of Intel’s newest silicon foundries, and Team Ohio has had a great working relationship with him over the past two years.

“Billions of dollars have been invested at the Ohio One site in Licking County, including multiple loads of equipment coming north from the Ohio River to the site. Now that the CHIPS Act funding has been announced, we anticipate the project will continue to move ahead quickly.

“We expect to talk with the Interim CEOs of Intel soon so we can offer whatever continued support they need as we work to build the most advanced microchip fabrication facility on earth which will stand as the cornerstone of the Silicon Heartland.”
