place to live and now you’re seeing all the jobs coming in with the significant employment corridor that’s booming and that workforce is following them.” TSMC has more than doubled down on their investment — originally estimated at $12 billion, the company has since expanded their plans to $35 billion. How will the housing shortage affect their growth? Luckily, in 2020, the city announced a plan to build and/or preserve 50,000 homes by 2030. Mackay told Valley Vibe that these development plans are a direct response to the need. The city needs to act quickly: Experts predict that the housing needs in Phoenix will only grow exponentially in the coming year. Computer Chips as Part of the Growing Phoenix Identity TSMC produces technology for everything, from smartphones to NASA’s Perseverance Rover for its mission to Mars, but computer chips are an integral part of any technology we use on a daily basis. Because of the chip shortage, many companies have been forced to cease or greatly slow down production. Along with the new TSMC plant, nearly 40 other tech companies are planning to move into the Phoenix area.
Although Phoenix’s tech sector was already experiencing rapid growth in 2021 (over three times the growth in software jobs than the nationwide average, according to AZ Big Media ), this growth will be a major boost for the city. We have lived in Phoenix’s North Valley since the 1990s, and the growth we have witnessed over the past 18–24 months
has been amazing to watch. This growth has helped our business grow and expand beyond our expectations. We look forward to helping more individuals and families with their housing needs in the years to come!
