These smart, targeted investments created good-paying jobs and ensured that the technologies that power America, like our smartphones and defense equipment, are made right here at home,\u201d said Rep. Stanton.\n\nThe CHIPS and Science Act made a historic federal investment of $52.7 billion to bring semiconductor manufacturing and its supply chain back to the United States, and it included a 25% investment tax credit for companies' manufacturing equipment costs.\n\nAccording to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the legislation has funded 49 projects throughout the country and catalyzed over $30 billion in direct federal allocations to revitalize domestic manufacturing. Of that total, more than $15 billion in direct funding was awarded to companies in Arizona\u2014the most of any state in the country.\n\nThe CHIPS and Science Act is also helping build Arizona\u2019s semiconductor workforce by supporting apprenticeship and workforce development programs through employers such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). These investments have helped create thousands of new manufacturing jobs and support thousands more construction jobs across Arizona.\n\nU.S. Representative Greg Stanton visits Amkor Technology in Peoria, Arizona on Aug. 10, 2026.\n\nStanton\u2019s visit included stops at ASML and Amkor Technology, where a new facility is currently under construction. Amkor received $407 million in CHIPS funding for the facility, which is expected to create 3,000 high-quality jobs. The visits follow Stanton\u2019s recent visit to TSMC, which announced last month an additional $100 billion in private investment, bringing its total Arizona commitment to $265 billion\u2014the largest foreign direct investment in U.S. history.\n\nStanton is leading the charge to maintain Arizona\u2019s position as the nation's leader in the semiconductor ecosystem, pushing CHIPS 2.0 forward and holding listening sessions with top industry leaders from Amkor, Applied Materials, TSMC, Intel, and others to hear directly what additional federal investments are needed.", 1, "2026-08-12T06:18:38Z", "2026-08-12T06:20:33Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stanton.house.gov/2026/8/stanton-marks-four-years-of-chips-act-with-facility-visits-highlights-impact-across-arizona"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8420201484113932, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
