Oregon leaders call Intel's $20 billion expansion in Ohio a 'wake-up call' for Oregon
Intel is Oregon's largest corporate employer with 22,000 employees. It's at the heart of Oregon's "Silicon Forest" in Washington County, but when Intel announced it was making a $20 billion investment in a massive chip manufacturing facility, that investment went to Ohio, not Oregon. How did Oregon miss out? Monique Claiborne, CEO of Greater Portland Inc., along with Oregon state Representative Janelle Bynum (D-Happy Valley) and Jennifer Baker, President of the Columbia River Economic Development Council in Clark County, join Laural Porter to discuss how Oregon can work to attract new investment in the state.
