Ondrej Holzman Ukutshalwa kwezimali okungu-$2 billion owokuguqula imboni yesafire eyonakele e-Arizona ibe isikhungo sedatha. EMesa, eduze kwasePhoenix, i-Apple ekuqaleni yayifuna ukwenza ingilazi yesafire yama-iPhones ayo, kodwa leyo phrojekthi ayizange iphumelele, ngakho inkampani yaseCalifornia ishintsha izinhlelo. Bazoguqula izakhiwo ezinkulu zibe isikhungo sabo sedatha esilandelayo.
Imboni yesafire ibisebenza e-Mesa kuze kube yizinyanga ezimbalwa ezedlule. Kodwa ngo-Okthoba wonyaka odlule, kwafika ukushaqeka lapho inkampani i-GT Advanced Technologies wamemezela bhidlika. Yehlulekile ukukhiqiza inani elenelisayo lesafire lekhwalithi eyanele futhi kwadingeka ivalwe. I-Apple manje izoguqula i-120 square metres yomhlaba wase-Arizona ibe isikhungo sedatha.

"Siyaziqhenya ngokuqhubeka nokutshala imali e-United States ngesikhungo esisha sedatha e-Arizona esizosebenza njengesikhungo sokulawula inethiwekhi yethu yomhlaba wonke," kusho umkhulumeli we-Apple uKristin Huguet. "Le phrojekthi yezigidigidi zamadola ingenye yezimali zethu ezinkulu kakhulu emlandweni."
Isikhungo esisha sedatha sizoqasha abantu abangu-150 ngokugcwele kanti ukwakhiwa kwaso kuzoletha eminye imisebenzi engama-300 kuya ku-500, kusho Pro Bloomberg UMbusi wase-Arizona uDoug Ducey. I-Apple kufanele itshale ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezimbili (ama-49 amabhiliyoni imiqhele) kuphrojekthi, futhi isikhungo sizonikezwa amandla ngamaphesenti angu-XNUMX amandla avuselelekayo.
Ngakho-ke kungenzeka kube nemisebenzi embalwa ekugcineni kunesithembiso sika-Apple embonini yesafire, kodwa uMbusi uDucey usaqhosha ngalokho kusukela ngohlelo lwakhe lokutshala imali e-Arizona. akavumanga, futhi uzozama inhlanhla ngephrojekthi entsha. Umdondoshiya waseCalifornia futhi uhlela ukwakha nokuxhasa ngezimali amaphrojekthi elanga okufanele akhiqize amandla ezindlini ezingaphezu kuka-14,5 zase-Arizona. Lokhu kusho ukwakha ipulazi lelanga elikhiqiza amamegawathi angama-70. Ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo sedatha kufanele kuqale ngo-2016, ngoba ngokuvumelana nesivumelwano esiphelile, i-GTAT inelungelo lokusebenzisa izakhiwo kuze kube nguDisemba 2015.
Isikhungo sedatha siyi-investimenti enkulu kakhulu kune-Apple eyenziwe ekuqaleni nge-GT Advanced Technologies. Njengengxenye yalezi zitolimende, kwakufanele akhokhele inkampani ekhethekile cishe izigidi ezingu-600 zamaRandi, neqiniso lokuthi wayeqasha ifektri yakwa-GTAT. Kodwa imigomo ka-Apple yayinzima kakhulu ukubheja kokukhiqizwa kwesafire kwe-GTAT kuhlulekile. Ungathola ukumbozwa okuphelele kwalo lonke icala lapha.
