In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Energy and logistics are seeing major expansions as well. The United Arab Emirates’ ADQ, partnering with Energy Capital Partners, announced a $25 billion initiative for data centers and energy infrastructure. France-based CMA CGM plans to invest $20 billion into U.S. shipping and logistics operations. Automaker Hyundai is contributing $21 billion, including a significant investment in a Louisiana steel plant. Meanwhile, European and Asian companies continue their push into the U.S. with projects such as Siemens’ $285 million AI manufacturing expansion and ABB’s $120 million electrical component upgrade.
State-specific investments span the country: Clarios in Michigan, Chobani in New York, Schneider Electric across multiple regions, and Paris Baguette in Texas. Other notable developments include new facilities from GE Aerospace in 16 states, Corning’s solar component manufacturing in Michigan, and ViDARR Inc.’s defense manufacturing in Virginia. These projects collectively signal a major transformation in America’s manufacturing footprint and job market.
Foreign governments have also pledged significant capital. The UAE plans to invest $1.4 trillion over the next decade, Japan $1 trillion, Saudi Arabia $600 billion, and Taiwan has vowed to increase its U.S. investments. This influx, combined with private-sector initiatives, marks one of the most robust periods of industrial investment in U.S. history.
