    Taxes and regulation knocked Maryland out of the running before the race even started.

    As a Virginia resident, I think not having an existing plant in Maryland knocked it out before the race even started. Duh.

    Yes. Clearly. These facilities cost billions to set up you don't move across the river for a tax break when you have been there for over 30 years in an industrial building. Commercial buildings are way different. (Source: me; I've worked in many a clean room).

    This. This is an expansion in Manassas. There's nothing to expand in MD.

    That picture looks like just a motherboard, even the cars fit in nicely. I'm always fascinated by this, it's like maybe the universe really is a simulation and we're unknowingly mirroring the hardware it runs on.

    The fab size will double in size with a whole new building. How can you say "will not significantly increase its capacity".

    That is called Fab 6. Not Fab 1. Just think about it, Fab 1 is in Boise where the company started. Source: I work there.
