In summary, a company has announced plans to invest $1.9 billion in a computer chip manufacturing facility in Burlington, Kansas. The facility is expected to create 1,200 jobs and is seen as a growing trend for manufacturers to expand outside of Asia. The choice of Burlington has raised questions due to its distance from major airports, but it does have a small airport that could potentially be upgraded.

Nice, that's good news. It's definitely starting to be a trend for IC manufacturers to add production facilities in places other than Asia because of instabilities in that region.

Kansas has pretty girls. 
I wonder why they picked Burlington (which I had to look up). 1200 jobs is one per household. That's a lot. And it's not really near any major airports - Topeka, and then Wichita, Kansas City, Manhattan etc. are twice as far.
I agree that the issues of building in Asia have come into sharper focus recently.

It looks like Burlington does have a small airport, which I'm sure they could upgrade if desired. Good thing they didn't pick Linders IMO, just sayin'...Vanadium 50 said:
