The Capital Region economy is about to once again get a significant boost thanks to GlobalFoundries.
The company will be building a second semiconductor fabrication plant at its Fab Eight campus located in Malta. The new facility is expected to create about 1,000 jobs in addition to the 3,000 people who already work for GlobalFoundries, which recently moved its corporate headquarters to the area. There's no word yet on how much the new factory will cost or when construction will begin.
