Sen. Todd Young responds to president’s call to kill law meant to spur semiconductor production in the U.S., including SK hynix’s $3.8B plans in West Lafayette
Currently, no one - not our mayor, not the Purdue president, not our senator, not the Secretary of Commerce - can say if this thing will even happen now that Trump has called the Chips Act a "horrible" thing. Even the recent quote from the SK Hynix spokesperson is not reassuring. So what's going to happen to WL if this parcel is rezoned to I3 and SK Hynix doesn't go through? That land will be wide open to anyone that comes along with money to develop. This is why the restriction list is so important: How about a concrete plant? How about another Staley's? How about a pharmaceutical plant? How about a gravel pit? How about a junk yard? I suggest our city leaders think long and hard about more than just supporting SK Hynix and make sure they place a broad restriction on the types of industrial operations allowed on that land.
Unfortunately Todd Young does not yet understand what is happening. Maybe he should look around at all the agencies this administration is gutting and see the big picture.

In plain English from Todd Young, there won’t be any DEI shit hiring for the SK hynix facility.
Yes, we’ve shifted to merit based hiring, as we have seen play out with the appointees and firings with the new federal government.
