Mayor of Amarillo Ginger Nelson
Amarillo Mayor Ginger Nelson was in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday for the signing of the Chips and Science Bill.
The CHIPS Act of 2022 should provide over 50 billion dollars in loans and grants to manufacturers of semiconductors, which are in many products such as cars and computers.
Nelson says the bill is definitely a benefit to Amarillo, especially since a new metal refining facility is being built here.
She says the CVMR facility will produce critical mineral elements, needed to manufacture the chips and will be the first of its kind in the nation.
