Peoria\u2019s economic development services director Maria Laughner says the primary goal of the planned community district is to increase local employment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will work with developers and businesses that want to come in, as long as they are trying to bring in users, or they are themselves users that will create a minimum of 10 jobs per acre,\u201d Laughner said.<\/p>\n<p>Amkor, which has been headquartered in Arizona since 2005, designs, packages and tests semiconductors for other companies. It broke ground on its Peoria factory in October, becoming yet another cornerstone of the Valley\u2019s growing semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem \u2014 which includes TSMC a few miles east of the innovation core in north Phoenix and Intel\u2019s operations in Chandler.<\/p>\n<p>Amkor says the facility\u2019s expansion will bring 3,000 high-paying jobs to the area. Production is slated to begin in 2028.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kjzz.org\/business\/2026-05-25\/amkor-technology-plans-to-expand-its-peoria-factory-and-add-3-000-jobs\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amkor Technology plans to expand its Peoria factory and add 3,000 jobs https:\/\/www.kjzz.org\/business\/2026-05-25\/amkor-technology-plans-to-expand-its-peoria-factory-and-add-3-000-jobs Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":254810,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/npr.brightspotcdn.com\/dims4\/default\/f693689\/2147483647\/strip\/true\/crop\/5272x2768+0+108\/resize\/1200x630!\/quality\/90\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnpr-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2F57%2F0a%2F3ad6ffb44e1ca9d1fa4fd97be7b7%2Famkor-site-aerial-view.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[62],"class_list":["post-254809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-innovation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254809"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254809"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254812,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254809\/revisions\/254812"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
