Kansas is giving more than $300 million in state APEX incentives to Integra Technologies to build a new semiconductor factory in Wichita. The Wichita megaproject could bring 2,000 jobs and more than $1.8 billion in capital investments to the state’s most populous city. But a few chips need to fall before it’s a done deal. Integra CEO Brett Robinson said in an interview with The Eagle that the business expansion hinges on a massive government subsidy package involving hundreds of millions in local, state and federal tax dollars aimed at boosting domestic microchip manufacturing.
