EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On behalf of Person County Business and Industrial Center, Inc. (Applicant), Timmons Group is submitting this
Individual Permit Request for the development of the Person County Mega -Site (Project). The proposed project
is situated on approximately 1,456 acres and is located approximately 5 miles north of Roxboro in Person
County, North Carolina (see Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The site is comprised of both wooded and agricultural
fields. Land use surrounding the site is predominately comprised of undeveloped forested lands interspersed
with agricultural fields and single family residential homes. Access to the site is via Country Club Road or
Edwin Robertson Road.
The overall purpose of the proposed project is to develop the Person County Business and Industrial Park and
associated infrastructure (i.e road improvements, stormwater, utilities, parking etc.). The proposed business
park will accommodate a stand-alone semiconductor fabrication chip plant (commonly called a fab; sometimes
foundry) that produces devices such as integrated circuits. In addition, the proposed business and industrial
park has been designed to accommodate additional manufacturing facilities that produce materials/products
to support the main industry as well as research and development facilities also required to support the
semiconductor fabrication chip plant.
The proposed Person County Business and Industrial site layout is comprised of 25 buildings including the 1
million square foot central operations facility and associated support facilities totaling approximately 320
acres (13,939,200 square feet) total. The site is suitable for the proposed development based on specific
industry requirements including, but not limited to, a minimum of 200 acres with compatible zoning, access to
available and high quality electricity (3 MGD during initial phases), experienced workforce, and direct routes
to interstates.
It is rare that a single site meets all the criteria necessary for the successful development of a semiconductor
fabrication chip plant. Power requirements for a semiconductor fabrication chip plant are significant. The
existing availability of power sets the Person County Site apart from alternative locations, not only in North
Carolina, but also globally. Currently the site is served by a 2,350 Megawatt Steam Plant, a 729 Megawatt
Steam Plant, a 49 Megawatt Combined Cycle Plant and 230 KV lines and 115 KV lines that cross the site. The
amount and quality of available power in addition to the amount of available water, wastewater, natural gas
and telecom further sets this site apart. The Person County Site was determined to be the most suitable option
based on the size and currently available infrastructure (i.e. electrical, natural gas, water and sewer).
Therefore, Person County has identified the proposed site as an economic development priority and has
invested significant resources into the planning and due -diligence required to develop the Site. Based on an
Economic Impact Study completed by N.C. Department of Commerce for the project, the ongoing, annual
employment impact of the new facility will result in approximately 7,870 jobs in the Person County area
including 4,000 direct company jobs and an additional 3,870 jobs in the region through indirect and induced
effects.

Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, the median household income for families living in the County was $54,474 and
the per capita income for the county was $22,189. In Person County, about 9.4% of families and 12% of the
population are below the poverty line. The N.C. Department of Commerce annually ranks the state's 100
counties based on economic well-being and assigns each a tier designation. These designations are based on
the average unemployment rate, median household income, percentage growth in population, and adjusted
property tax base per capita. The 40 most distressed counties are designated as Tier 1, the next 40 as Tier 2,
and the least 20 least distressed as Tier 3. Person County is currently ranked as a Tier 1 county.
The County has incorporated concerns of relevant stakeholders into their master plan and studied the
development needs and patterns of the industrial clients it wishes to attract. The County has completed the
environmental and utility infrastructure studies necessary to attract industrial users, in order to facilitate an
expedient approval process. The site is currently zoned RC -Rural Conservation and the proposed use is
consistent with the current zoning and is considered a permitted use.
Primary constraints when looking at the on-site alternatives were ultimately reduced to impacts to Waters of
the U.S., topographic constraints and available access. The selected alternative, the LEDPA was determined to
meet the size requirements of the proposed facility, resulted in the least amount of impacts to Waters of the
U.S. and provided for access to the site as well as connectivity of the main operations facility to the other
support facilities required for the site.
In order to accomplish the goals of the Project, at total of 9.1 acres of unavoidable permanent impacts to
jurisdictional wetlands and 46,959 linear feet of stream are required. These unavoidable impacts will be
mitigated through the purchase of compensatory wetland and stream credits through the N.0 Division of
Mitigation Services (DMS). The purchase of this compensatory mitigation will ensure the unavoidable impacts
proposed by the Project, will result in a "no net loss" of aquatic resource function and value to Waters of the
U.S.
Impacts to jurisdictional features were avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable throughout
the planning and design process. The current proposed layout provides sufficient area to construct the
approximately 1 million square foot central operations facility as well as position the facility along the existing
ridgeline which will serve to minimize impacts to 2nd order streams or higher quality streams on the site. In
addition, the proposed support facilities have been designed and strategically located in interstream divides in
order to avoid impacts to streams and wetlands in those areas.

2.0 INTRODUCTION
On behalf of the Person County Business and Industrial Center, Inc. (Applicant), Timmons Group is submitting
this permit request for the Person County Mega -Site (Project). The proposed project is situated on
approximately 1,456 acres and is located approximately 5 miles north of Roxboro in Person County, North
Carolina (see Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The site is comprised of both wooded and agricultural fields. Land use
surrounding the site is predominately comprised of undeveloped forested lands interspersed with agricultural
fields and single family residential homes. Access to the site is via Country Club Road or Edwin Robertson
Road.
The purpose of the proposed project is to develop the Person County Business and Industrial Park and
associated infrastructure (i.e road improvements, stormwater, utilities, parking etc.) to accommodate a
semiconductor fabrication chip plant (commonly called a fab or foundry) that produces devices such as
integrated circuits. An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or
microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, which is
normally constructed of silicon. ICs are now used in virtually all electronic devices and have revolutionized the
world of electronics. Computers, mobile phones, and other digital home appliances are now inextricable parts
of the structure of modern societies, made possible by the small size and low cost of ICs.
Person County has identified the proposed site as an economic development priority and has invested
significant resources into the planning and due -diligence required to develop the site. The N.C. Department of
Commerce has identified Person County as a Tier 1 county, based on the average unemployment rate, median
household income, percentage growth in population, and adjusted property tax base per capita. Based on an
Economic Impact Study completed by N.C. Department of Commerce for the project, the ongoing, annual
employment impact of the new facility will result in approximately 7,870 jobs in the Person County area
including 4,000 direct company jobs and an additional 3,870 jobs in the region through indirect and induced
effects.
Due -diligence completed to date includes a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, geotechnical study,
wetland and stream investigations, historic and cultural resource surveys, threatened and endangered species
surveys, a traffic impact analysis, and economic impact assessment. In addition, on-site concurrence meetings
and pre -application meetings have been held with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and N.C. Division of Water
Resources.
The proposed Person County Business and Industrial site layout is comprised of 25 buildings including the 1
million square foot central operations facility and associated support facilities totaling approximately 320
acres (13,939,200 square feet). The site is suitable for the proposed development based on specific industry
requirements including, but not limited to, a minimum of 200 acres with compatible zoning, access to available
and high quality electricity (3 MGD during initial phases), experienced workforce, and direct routes to
interstates.

To accomplish the goals of the Project, the Applicant has proposed the Preferred Alternative as the Least
Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA). Based on the proposed site layout approximately
46,959 linear feet of stream and 9.1 acres of wetland will be impacted by the proposed project.
3.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
3.1 Site Location
The proposed project is situated on approximately 1,456 acres and is located approximately 5 miles north of
Roxboro in Person County, North Carolina (see Figure 1. Vicinity Map). The site is comprised of both wooded
and agricultural fields. Land use surrounding the site is predominately comprised of undeveloped forested
lands interspersed with agricultural fields and single family residential homes. Access to the site is via Country
Club Road or Edwin Robertson Road. The site is located in the Roanoke watershed (HUC 03010104) and all
surface waters on the site drain to Story's Creek and Marlowe Creek, located along the western and eastern
property boundaries respectively. The property is located in the Piedmont Physiographic Province.
A FEMA Flood Rate Insurance Map (FIRM) is included for review (Figure 4: FEMA FIRM MAP). The map shows
the project area as located in both Zone AE and Zone X. Areas of the site in the immediate vicinity of Story's
and Marlowe Creek, generally located along the western and eastern project boundaries, are designated as
Zone AE of the 100 -year flood plain. All other areas of the site are located Zone X categorized as occurring
outside of the 100 -year floodplain and having minimal flood hazard. Furthermore, these areas are above the
500 -year flood level. The project has been designated to comply with the applicable FEMA -approved state and
local floodplain management requirements and no increase in the 100 -year flood elevation is anticipated.
3.2 Site Conditions
The site is comprised of both wooded and agricultural fields. Land use surrounding the site is predominately
undeveloped forested lands interspersed with agricultural fields and single family residential homes. Access to
the site is via Country Club Road or Edwin Robertson Road.
The majority of the site has moderate slopes along a ridgeline that bisects the center of the site. Elevations
range from 400 feet above mean sea level (MSL) along the western and eastern boundaries to 492 feet MSL in
the center of the site. Surface waters on the site drain to Story's Creek and Marlowe Creek, located along the
western and eastern property boundaries respectively.
The property was delineated by ECS, Inc to identify the presence and location of jurisdictional wetlands and
streams within the project area. The wetland delineation was performed in accordance with the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (COE) 1987 Delineation Manual and subsequently issued Regional Supplement to the 1987
Delineation Manual. The initial field work for the Project Site was conducted in June and August of 2016. The
delineation was verified by Eric Alsmeyer on July 28th, August 4th and August 51h. Additional areas associated
with roadway improvements were delineated in November, 2017 and confirmation is pending. Documents
pertaining to the wetland delineation and subsequent confirmation are provided in Appendix B: Wetland
Delineation Information. There are no wetlands, open water, stream and associated upland buffers within the

Project Area that are under a deed restriction, conservation easement restrictive covenant, or other land use
protective instrument.
4.0 PURPOSE AND NEED
The overall purpose of the proposed project is to develop the Person County Business and Industrial Park and
associated infrastructure (i.e road improvements, stormwater, utilities, parking etc.) to accommodate a
semiconductor fabrication chip plant (commonly called a fab or foundry) that produces devices such as
integrated circuits. An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or
microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, which is
normally constructed of silicon. ICs are now used in virtually all electronic devices and have revolutionized the
world of electronics. Computers, mobile phones, and other digital home appliances are now inextricable parts
of the structure of modern societies, made possible by the small size and low cost of ICs.
The proposed business park will accommodate a stand-alone semiconductor fabrication chip plant (commonly
called a fab; sometimes foundry) that produces devices such as integrated circuits. In addition, the proposed
business and industrial park has been designed to accommodate additional manufacturing facilities that
produce materials/products to support the main industry as well as research and development facilities also
required to support the semiconductor fabrication chip plant.
Based on the 2010 U.S. Census, the median household income for families living in the County was $54,474 and
the per capita income for the county was $22,189. About 9.4% of families and 12% of the population were
below the poverty line in Person County. The N.C. Department of Commerce annually ranks the state's 100
counties based on economic well-being and assigns each a tier designation. These designations are based on
the average unemployment rate, median household income, percentage growth in population, and adjusted
property tax base per capita. The 40 most distressed counties are designated as Tier 1, the next 40 as Tier 2,
and the least 20 least distressed as Tier 3. Person County is currently ranked as a Tier 1 county.
Person County has identified the proposed site as an economic development priority and has invested
significant resources into the planning and due -diligence required to develop the Site. Due -diligence completed
includes a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment, geotechnical study, wetland and stream investigations,
historic and cultural resource surveys, threatened and endangered species surveys, a traffic impact analysis,
and economic impact assessment. A copy of all reports have been included in Appendices B and C respectively.
The County has incorporated concerns of relevant stakeholders into their master plan and studied the
development needs and patterns of the industrial clients it wishes to attract. The County has completed the
rezoning, environmental and utility infrastructure studies necessary to attached industrial users, in order to
facilitate an expedient approval process. The site is currently zoned RC -Rural Conservation and the proposed
use is consistent with the current zoning and is considered a permitted use. See Zoning information included in
Appendix D.

Based on an Economic Impact Study completed by N.C. Department of Commerce for the project, the ongoing,
annual employment impact of the new facility will result in approximately 7,870 jobs in the Person County
area including 4,000 of direct company jobs and an additional 3,870 jobs in the region through indirect and
induced effects. A copy of the Economic Impacts Study has been included as Appendix E.
The criteria evaluated during site selection for this type of facility is extensive. The categories are numerous,
but generally assess the site's location, site characteristics, infrastructure, financials and incentives. The Person
County Site ranked 356 out of a possible 423 available points evaluated in the site selection matrix completed
by CH2M Hill. A copy of the Selection Criteria Matrix has been included in Appendix F.
The proposed Person County Industrial site layout is comprised of 25 buildings including the central
operations facility and associated support facilities totaling approximately 320 acres (13,939,200 square feet).
Based on specific industry requirements, a minimum of 200 acres with compatible zoning, access to available
and high quality electricity (3 MGD during initial phases), experienced workforce, and direct routes to
interstates is required in addition to a large number of optimal site characteristics utilized for the site selection
process. A site plan has been included in Appendix G: Waters of the U.S. Impacts Map.
5.0 ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
The alternatives that were evaluated to determine the Least Environmentally Damaging Practicable
Alternative (LEDPA) include: (1) The no -build alternative, (2) offsite alternatives, and (3) on-site alternatives.
Each alternative will be discussed in detail below. The criteria used to evaluate suitable sites for the proposed
development generally include location relative to airports and major roadways; site characteristics (i.e size,
environmental constraints, completed due -diligence, compatible land uses, zoning, etc), infrastructure (i.e.
power, water/sewer, natural gas, fiber), financials (i.e. land cost, taxes, etc), and incentives.
The No Build Alternative, which would avoid all impacts to aquatic resources, is not a viable option given the
Purpose and Need of the Project is to accommodate a semiconductor fabrication chip plant and deliver
significant economic relief to the residents of Person County which is currently categorized as a severely
distressed Tier 1 County. The no build alternative would result in a continued lack of economic growth
resulting in lost job opportunities, loss in tax revenue for the County, loss of local expenditure of dollars, and
residents would continue to be forced to commute farther distances for work.
It is rare that a single site meets all the criteria necessary for the successful development of a semiconductor
fabrication chip plant. Power requirements for a semiconductor fabrication chip plant are significant. The
existing availability of power sets the Person County Site apart from alternative locations. Currently the site is
served by a 2,350 Megawatt Steam Plant, a 729 Megawatt Steam Plant, a 49 Megawatt Combined Cycle Plant
and 230 KV lines and 115 KV lines cross the site.

The amount and quality of available power in addition to the amount of available water, wastewater, natural
gas and telecom further sets this site apart. Based on information from CH2M Hill there are currently only 5
sites globally that compare to the suitability of the Person County Site.
Within the State of North Carolina, the North Carolina Department of Commerce identified only two (2) off-site
alternatives that met the initial criteria for the proposed project and were considered during the initial stages
of the project. Detailed information concerning the site exploration activities are proprietary, however based
on information from Stuart Gilbert, Person County Economic Development Director, both sites were
determined to be too small to meet the necessary size requirements. Therefore, the Person County Site was
determined to be the most suitable option based on the size and currently available infrastructure (i.e.
electrical, natural gas, water and sewer).
Numerous on-site alternatives were evaluated in order to select the best development plan needed to meet the
industries requirements while avoiding wetlands and streams to the maximum extent practicable. Possible
siting locations for the central operations facility (1,000,000 square feet) were reviewed across the site. Due to
the location of Storys Creek in the northwest and western portion of the site, there was not enough usable land
in those areas to accommodate the central operations facility. Therefore, the central portion of the site was
identified as the most practicable location for the proposed central operations facility. Following the siting
determination, multiple concepts were analyzed for the final building layout. Ultimately, three (3) alternative
layout options were considered, including the selected alternative (see Appendix F). Primary constraints when
looking at the on-site alternatives were ultimately reduced to impacts to Waters of the U.S., topographic
constraints and available access. The selected alternative, the LEDPA was determined to meet the size
requirements of the proposed facility, resulted in the least amount of impacts to Waters of the U.S. and
provided for access to the site as well as connectivity of the main operations facility to other the support
facilities required for the site.
6.0 JURISDICTIONAL IMPACTS
To accomplish the goals of the Project, the Applicant has proposed the Preferred Alternative as the Least
Environmentally Damaging Practicable Alternative (LEDPA), as the least impactful action to jurisdictional
areas when compared to other alternatives. To accomplish the goals of the Project, impacts to jurisdictional
Waters of the U.S. are unavoidable. The location of impacts to jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. identified within
the Project limits are shown on the attached Impact Maps (Appendix G: Person County Mega -Site -
jurisdictional Waters of the U.S. Impacts Maps - Sheets 1-6). Based on the proposed site layout approximately
9.1 acres of unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and 46,959 linear feet of stream are
required.

7.0 AVOIDANCE AND MINIMIZATION
Impacts to jurisdictional features were avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable by
incorporating resourceful site planning, including the utilization of the wetland delineation to adjust the layout
to avoid and minimize impacts. After the wetlands were delineated, an engineering plan was developed to
meet all needs at the site, while minimizing impacts to Waters of the U.S.
Alternative siting locations for the central operations facility are limited based on the size and layout
requirements. The current proposed layout provides sufficient area to construct the approximately 1 million
square foot facility as well as position the facility along the existing ridgeline which will serve to minimize
impacts to 2nd order streams or higher quality streams. In addition, the proposed support facilities have been
designed and strategically located in interstream divides in order to avoid impacts to streams and wetlands in
those areas.
An Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Plan that meets the latest State regulations and adheres to the
methodology prescribed in the North Carolina Sedimentation and Pollution Control Act of 1973. Stormwater
management on-site will protect downstream waters from degradation. Therefore, the project should have no
effect on downstream waters, shellfish or other aquatic species.
8.0 COMPENSATORY MITIGATION
Based on the 2008, Compensatory Mitigation for Losses of Aquatic Resources; Final Rule, "for every authorized
discharge, the adverse impacts to wetlands, steams and other aquatic resources must be avoided and minimized
to the extent practicable. For unavoidable impacts, compensatory mitigation is required to replace the loss of
wetland and aquatic resource functions in the watershed". Based on review of approved available mitigation
banks in North Carolina (updated 10/2017), no private mitigation credits are available within the specific
watershed (03010104) for the project. Therefore, compensatory mitigation for these unavoidable impacts will
be achieved through payment into the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services (DMS) in -lieu fund.
9.0 SUPPORTING SITE INFORMATION
9.1 Threatened and Endangered Species Information
An Endangered Species Project Review was conducted to gain insight regarding the potential presence of
Endangered Species Act (ESA) listed species within or in the vicinity of the Project. The following agencies and
associated databases were reviewed:

• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services (USFWS) - Information, Planning and Consultations Systems (IPaC)
• North Carolina Natural Heritage Department (NHP) database
Based upon a review of available information, one (1) federally protected species is currently listed by USFWS
for Person County. The dwarf -wedge mussel (Alasmidonta heterodon) is currently listed as endangered on the
Endangered Species, Threatened Species, Federal Species of Concern, and Candidate Species list for Person
County (dated 12-27-2012). There is no critical habitat identified for this species within the project area based
on results from the IPaC database search. Therefore, the project will not affect the dwarf -wedge mussel or its
critical habitat.
Furthermore, USFWS issued a scoping response letter on July 11, 2014 that stated that the proposed action is
not likely to adversely affect any federally -listed endangered or threatened species, their formally designated
critical habitat, or species currently proposed for listing under the Act at the site and all requirements of
section 7(a)(2) of the Act have been satisfied. A copy of the scoping response letters has been included in
Appendix C.
9.2 Cultural Resources
A query of the North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) database was performed for the
Project and the vicinity (0.25 miles from the project boundary) to determine the effect, if any, that the project.
No National Register sites or sites Eligible for listing in the National Register are present on the site or within
0.25 miles of the site.
In addition, an archaeological survey was completed by Archaeological Consultants of the Carolinas (ACC) in
July 2017. Twelve (12) archaeological resources were identified during the course of this investigation. None
of the 12 resources identified were considered to retain research potential beyond the survey level of
investigation and have recommend not eligible for the National Register. Concurrence from SHPO was
received on September 15, 2017. A copy of this report has been included in Appendix C.

Road. Continue on Country Club Road to the intersection of Edwin Robertson Road.
18. Nature of Activity (Description of project, include all features)
The proposed Person County Business and Industrial site layout is comprised of 25 buildings including the 1 million square foot central
operations facility and associated support facilities totaling approximately 320 acres (13,939,200 square feet). The proposed business park
will accommodate a stand-alone semiconductor fabrication chip plant, additional manufacturing facilities that produce materials/products
to support the main industry, as well as research and development facilities also required to support the semiconductor fabrication chip
plant. Access roads have been designed on the site to provide connectivity for each facility. The proposed design also identifies locations
and sizes for stormwater control measures to be installed as part of the proposed project.
19. Project Purpose (Describe the reason or purpose of the project, see instructions)
The overall purpose of the proposed project is to develop the Person County Business and Industrial Park and associated infrastructure (i.e road
improvements, stormwater, utilities, parking etc.). The proposed business park will accommodate a stand-alone semiconductor fabrication chip plant
(commonly called a fab; sometimes foundry) that produces devices such as integrated circuits. In addition, the proposed business and industrial park has
been designed to accommodate additional manufacturing facilities that produce materials/products to support the main industry as well as research and
development facilities also required to support the semiconductor fabrication chip plant. It is rare that a single site meets all the criteria necessary for the
successful development of a semiconductor fabrication chip plant. Power requirements for a semiconductor fabrication chip plant are significant. Th
existing availability of power sets the Person County Site apart from alternative locations, not only in North Carolina, but also globally. Therefore, Person
County has identified the proposed site as an economic development priority and has invested significant resources into the planning and due -diligence
required to develop the Site. Based on an Economic Impact Study completed by N.C. Department of Commerce for the project, the ongoing, annual
employment impact of the new facility will result in approximately 7,870 jobs in the Person County area including 4,000 direct company jobs and an
additional 3,870 jobs it the region through indirect and induced effects.
USE BLOCKS 20-23 IF DREDGED AND/OR FILL MATERIAL IS TO BE DISCHARGED
20. Reason(s) for Discharge
In order to accomplish the goals of the Project, at total of 9.1 acres of unavoidable permanent impacts to jurisdictional wetlands and
46,959 linear feet of stream are required. These unavoidable impacts will be mitigated through the purchase of compensatory wetland
and stream credits through the N.0 Division of Mitigation Services (DMS). The purchase of this compensatory mitigation will ensure the
unavoidable impacts proposed by the Project, will result in a "no net loss" of aquatic resource function and value to Waters of the U.S.

23. Description of Avoidance, Minimization, and Compensation (see instructions) Alternative siting locations for the central operations facility are
limited based on the size and layout requirements. The current proposed layout provides sufficient area to construct the approximately 1
million square foot facility as well as position the facility along the existing ridgeline which will serve to minimize impacts to 2nd order
streams or higher quality streams. In addition, the proposed support facilities have been designed and strategically located in interstream
divides in order to avoid impacts to streams and wetlands in those areas.

Economic Impact of a new Semiconductor Device
Manufacturing Facility in Person County, NC
INTRODUCTION
This report estimates the economic contributions and impacts of the planned construction of a new
semiconductor device manufacturing facility in Person County, North Carolina. The purpose of this
report is to provide information related to the potential economic impact of particular industry
activities. Results are estimates, and are derived from inputs provided by the involved companies
and in some cases based on forecast.
ANALYSIS ASSUMPTIONS & METHODOLOGY
Commerce uses IMPLAN1 software for economic impact modeling. The IMPLAN model is widely used
by local, state, and federal government agencies as well as private industry and universities. The
following section summarizes the data and assumptions used in developing the economic impact
model for this project in Person County.
PROIECT DETAILS AND MODEL ASSUMPTIONS
Location of Projects / Economic Impact Area: Person County, NC and surrounding counties
IMPLAN Sector - Sustained Operations: 309 - Semiconductor and related device manufacturing
IMPLAN Sector - Temporary Operations: 53 - Construction of new manufacturing structures
Investment in Temporary Construction Operations: $1,750,000,000
New Project Jobs: 4,000
ECONOMIC IMPACTS
While economic modeling can provide general information about how an economy will react as a
result of a particular event or occurrence, future economic performance will vary with economic
conditions. Economic modeling should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to
estimate overall project merits and drawbacks. This project consists of two analysis components: 1)
impacts associated with constructing/renovating facilities and 2) impacts associated with ongoing
operations. As suggested by the IMPLAN model, all construction investment is expected to come from
North Carolina vendors or inputs. All impacts are presented as regional impacts with monetary
figures presented in 2017 dollars.
IMPLAN Group, Inc. was founded in 1993 by Scott Lindall and Doug Olson as an outgrowth of their work at the
University of Minnesota starting in 1984. This developmental work closely involved the U.S. Forest Service's Land
Management Planning Unit in Fort Collins, and Dr. Wilbur Maki at the University of Minnesota. For more information
please visit www.IMPLAN.com.

KEY ECONOMIC IMPACT DEFINITIONS
Direct Impacts: The known or predicted change in the economy that is being studied. In this analysis the direct impacts
are the changes associated with the project site.
Indirect Impact: Secondary impact caused to industries in the supply chain of the direct impact. In this case, indirect
impacts would result from industries supplying resources and materials.
Induced Impact: Direct and indirect employment (and increases in labor income) creates additional household spending
on goods and services.
Employment: The number of full-time and part-time jobs; measured by place of employment. Employees, sole proprietors,
and active partners are included, but unpaid family workers and volunteers are not.
Value Added: is a measure of the contribution of each private industry and of government to a region's Gross Domestic
Product. It is defined as an industry's gross output (which consists of sales or receipts and other operating income,
commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (which consist of energy, raw materials, semi-
finished goods, and services that are purchased from domestic industries or from foreign sources).
Output: is the amount of production, including all intermediate goods purchased as well as value added (compensation and
profit).
Job -Years: IMPLAN measures employment impacts in job -years with each unit of employment equivalent to one job for
one year. This is important when IMPLAN is used to measure construction or other non -permanent operations. For
example, IMPLAN does not distinguish between ten units of employment (workers) employed over five years, and fifty
workers employed in one year. Therefore, one construction worker may account for multiple units of employment if that
person is employed over multiple years.
ECONOMIC IMPACTS FROM ONGOING OPERATIONS
ONGOING EMPLOYMENT IMPACTS
In this section, we analyze the impact of adding 4,000 jobs to the Person County economy, which a
new semiconductor device manufacturing facility has estimated will result from the company's
project.
When complete, the ongoing, annual employment impact of the new facility will result in
approximately 7,870 jobs in the Person County area. Some of these jobs are direct company jobs
(4,000). These direct project jobs create an additional 3,870 jobs in the region through indirect and
induced effects. Many of the additional jobs occur in sectors directly impacted by semiconductor
device manufacturing, like wholesale trade and investigation and security services. Other jobs occur
in sectors that support the direct employees of this project, including restaurants and real estate.
ONGOING IMPACTS TO THE REGION'S ECONOMY
Upon completion the project, the ongoing, annual direct economic impact will result in an increase
of the region's gross domestic product by approximately $1.1 billion. Total regional output, including
indirect and induced effects, will increase by $2.5 billion as a result of the project.

TEMPORARY ECONOMIC IMPACTS FROM CONSTRUCTION
TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT IMPACTS
In this section, we analyze the temporary impact of constructing the manufacturing facility in Person
County. The company has estimated that approximately $1.75 billion will be invested in the
construction of their new facility. This analysis considers only the construction of the facility and
does not include any associated infrastructure construction.
Approximately 19,495 total jobs (including indirect and induced effects) will result from
construction investments in the project, with roughly 16,010 directly needed in the construction
industry.2 It is important to recognize that the jobs associated with this project's construction are not
permanent, continuous jobs. Rather, when the projects are complete, the employment demands
created by project construction will cease.
TEMPORARY IMPACTS TO THE REGION'S ECONOMY
Upon completion of the project, the construction investment is estimated to positively impact the
region's gross domestic product by $1.1 billion and increase output by $2.2 billion.

Disclaimer: Economic modeling providesgeneral impact estimates for economic development projects.
However, future results will be affected by political, social, and economic conditions. Economic modeling
is most informative when used with other forms of analysis, such as cost -benefit analysis and fiscal
impact analysis, to estimate the overall impact of economic changes. The use of inputs from the company
does not endorse, confirm, or support the methodology or assumptions used in deriving estimates
relating to the project.
2 IMPLAN measures employment impacts in job -years with each unit of employment equivalent to one job for one year.
For example, IMPLAN does not distinguish between ten units of employment (workers) employed over five years, and fifty
workers employed in one year. Therefore, one construction worker may account for multiple units of employment if that
person is employed over multiple years.
