Sanders Applauds Administration's $1.5 Billion Award Aimed at Revitalizing Semiconductor Manufacturing in Vermont

Statement

"There is no doubt that there is a global shortage in microchips and semiconductors which is making it harder for manufacturers to produce the cars, cellphones, and electronic equipment that we need.This federal investment will bring valuable support to help this industry succeed in Vermont by supporting innovations in development, manufacturing, and production. It will also create good-paying jobs for hundreds of Vermonters, and bring in apprenticeship programs to teach the next generation. I applaud the Biden-Harris administration for this funding."
