The state entered an agreement with Integra Technologies to provide $300 million of incentives for the company to build the plant and create 2,000 new jobs in Wichita. But the deal still hinges on federal funding.
TOPEKA, Kansas — Kansas has struck a deal with a Wichita company to build a $1.8 billion semiconductor manufacturing plant, but it hinges on the company securing federal money by later this year.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly announced on Thursday a deal with Integra Technologies to build the plant in the Wichita area and create 2,000 new jobs. Shortly before the reveal, a panel of lawmakers and the governor approved a $300 million tax incentive package that was crafted behind closed doors.

..."Tyson did not support the original law passed in 2022. She said lawmakers should look at the law closely before signing off on an extension to make sure the state does not provide more than it can afford.
Republican Sen. Renee Erickson said monitoring the deals would be necessary. But she said the law helped the state land a massive economic development deal that it had historically lost out on.
Prior to the Panasonic deal, the state failed to land 11 different megaprojects worth more than $1 billion in investment since 2017."...
