Dear Editor,
A South Korean company with technology developed in partnership with Georgia Tech has received federal funding for a new semiconductor materials factory in Covington thanks to Biden’s CHIPS & Science Act. Passed in 2022, the act aims to boost domestic semiconductor production.
Our Republican congressman (Mike Collins) voted against it, but thankfully, enough sound-minded representatives got it passed.
Good-paying jobs and opportunities are coming to Covington despite Rep. Collins. Perhaps other counties in Congressional District 10 could get more opportunities for growth with the right kind of representative in the House.
I say it’s time for a change.
