Thread: Why Sherman TX?

  1. #1

    Default Why Sherman TX?

    Sherman TX the next tech hub? Why isn’t Oklahoma getting any of the chip manufacturing gigs?

    The future site of a $5 billion silicon wafer fabrication plant in Sherman, Texas is buzzing with construction activity. GlobalWafers America, a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing company, broke ground on the plant in December 2022. Freese and Nichols is providing program and construction management services on the project.

    Isn't Texas Instruments already in this area? I think that is at least part of the reason.

    Don't forget call centers. We love our call centers.

    In the age of work-from-home and early era AI I cannot for the life of me image another call center being built ground-up, anywhere.

    Yes, you are correct. I lived in Sherman in the 90's. Texas Instruments had a big chip plant there, and I think another chip plant was built in Sherman in the 2000's. I think they have a trained workforce. Also, Sherman is less than 45 minutes from Plano, it's practically part of the Metroplex now.
