The Hemlock Semiconductor Group has begun construction at its new plant in Clarksville, Tenn. The facility is projected to be completed in 2012.

Semiconductor's new facility features an investment of up to $1.2
billion, and it will create 500 full-time jobs and more than 800
construction jobs. The site will contain over 150,000 cubic yards of
concrete and 20,000 tons of structural steel.
Initially, the new
site will have the capacity to manufacture greater than 10,000 metric
tons of polysilicon, with the ability to expand production up to 21,000
metric tons, Hemlock says. Most of the polysilicon produced at this
facility will be consumed by firms in the solar industry.
