Wolfspeed is investing a total of $5 billion in order to add a new manufacturing campus in Right to Work Siler City, North Carolina. As a result, this investment will also create 1,800 new jobs. So this is exciting economic news!

From Area Development Magazine:

“We are particularly excited and proud to not only expand Wolfspeed’s footprint in our home state of North Carolina, but also our relationship with North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University to develop a workforce of the future. […] The Chatham County facility will enable the increasing adoption of Silicon Carbide and will drive the dramatic growth of the technology as the power semiconductor market transitions from silicon to the much more efficient Silicon Carbide technology.†[…]

“Wolfspeed’s decision further validates North Carolina as the epicenter of clean energy. […] This is another milestone in our drive toward a clean energy economy as it will boost electric vehicle manufacturing and offshore wind while fighting climate change and putting money in the pockets of everyday North Carolinians with great paying jobs.†[…]

“Our clean energy supply chain continues to grow with advanced manufacturers like Wolfspeed and its record investment in our state. […] North Carolina’s economy has a rich manufacturing legacy that benefits from its homegrown companies and innovative research ecosystem to support their success. As a state, we are committed to providing more creative training systems to further develop the talented workforce to help our state maintain its cutting-edge leadershipâ€
