SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS — Samsung’s new chip manufacturing facility is taking shape and triggering big changes to the rural area around Taylor, Texas.
Some estimates suggest Samsung’s total investment in central Texas could eventually total as much as $63 billion. Originally called Taylorsville, the City of Taylor was incorporated in 1882, growing over the years from a railway town into an agricultural market center. Taylor’s population increased steadily and stands at 17,600 today.Beyond Samsung’s commitments and the new jobs created are Samsung suppliers who wish to be close by.
However, such rapid expansion of the Taylor area economy does not come without change. Rydell said the population of Taylor could quickly double. Land development codes have been reviewed and updated to allow new housing and more density.
