They will build a 633,000-square-foot expansion. They are able to do so because GlobalFoundries is competing for a share of fifty-two billion dollars in federal funding to produce more computer chips in the U.S.

How Much Will The Second GlobalFoundries Factory Cost to Build?

Recently, GlobalFoundries received approval to build a second factory to increase production. The estimated cost is six to eight billion dollars according to the Albany Business Review.

Todd Kusnierz, the chairman of the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors said of this massive land transaction,

This reaffirms their commitment to Saratoga County and paints a positive forecast for economic development in our area."

He also added that the land will be used, not only for a second factory but will attract some of its suppliers to the Luther Forest Tech Park. This will also allow for more well-paying jobs in Saratoga County.

This stunning mansion has been on the market for a while and now the price has been reduced. It was $8.9 million and then $7 million. Now it's $6.47 million.

It sits on 15 acres with breathtaking views of Saratoga Lake. Check out the outdoor patio complete with a pool house that actually I would be happy calling my home.
