According to X-bit Labs web site reported that officially started by the end of July 2009, the global wafer (GlobalFoundries) in New York state's new Fab 2 wafer fab construction work had been progressing smoothly, but now met with the infrastructure On the block, follow-up schedule is likely to be extended, this way is bound to Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and other partners of the future new products released, causing a certain extent.

Currently, the New York State Government intends to take over the Luther Forest Technology Park Economic Development Corporation, as the latter failed to reach the established project schedule, leading to the fate of the entire science and technology park, pending construction of infrastructure work has stalled.
Global wafer spokesman Travis Bulllard told a local newspaper interview that the company's ability to achieve serious concern behind schedule, so that new plant into operation in time, this issue has been delayed for too long.
Global Fab 2 wafer fab construction and equipment, the total investment amount of 4.2 billion U.S. dollars, covering a total area of 90 million square meters, of which an area of 82,000 square meters room fab. In accordance with the original schedule, the new plant should be completed in July 2010 the whole building fortifications, in July 2011 to complete fab building, on-line in 2012 and import the work of trial production, mass production in 2013, a month early Production capacity is expected to open the 60,000 or so.
