Texas Instruments: A Triumph of Business Retention and Expansion

Texas Instruments chose Sherman for its estimated $30 billion new fabrication campus with plans to produce 300-millimeter semiconductor wafers and create over 3,000 jobs. It isn't just the biggest industrial deal in Sherman's history but the biggest in Texas' history. What made this win even more of an achievement is that the company had announced in 2020 it was closing its existing Sherman facility.

Sherman edged out Singapore as the home for the tech giant’s new manufacturing plant with an incentives package that included a quadruple property tax abatement by the City of Sherman, Grayson County, Grayson College, and the Sherman Independent School District. The Sherman site has the potential for up to four plants, known as “fabs,” to meet demand over time since semiconductor growth in electronics — particularly in industrial and automotive markets — is expected to continue well into the future.

On top of winning the biggest industrial project in Texas' history, this deal is a triumph that earned SEDCO a 2021 Impact Award.
