The Edwards Vacuum facility in Genesee County, Alabama, is set to launch by April 1, following a $300 million investment to produce dry-pump vacuum technology for semiconductor manufacturing. This factory, the first of its kind in the U.S., is expected to create over 300 jobs and has significantly increased the town's assessed value. The facility will support companies like Micron, which is developing a new semiconductor campus nearby.
