FT. COLLINS, CO -- Once a site of a major Hewlett-Packard manufacturing plant, Ft. Collins is becoming attractive to major chipmakers. Intel, which already employs about 300 on the former H-P campus, will relocate its offices to a nearby 200,000 sq. ft. site recently purchased from Celestica. Also, Intel's competitor AMD plans to bring as many as 200 electrical design engineering jobs to Fort Collins, reported the Coloradoan, a local online news source. The news source said AMD's decision depends on the company's ability "to find enough workers to staff a satellite office." The new Intel site is located on 30 acres and was purchased for $13 million last year. When Celestica decided last year to shut down its manufacturing operations there, the site employed 800 workers. According to various reports, Intel could reap several incentives from the county and state in exchange for locating in Ft. Collins.
