The production year stated for this site is recorded point by point in the schedule history below. Samsung's own dated statement is the November 2021 announcement; the 2027 figure comes from a press report, and no dated Samsung statement of it has been found for this record. The investment is Samsung's own figure for this site. Its November 2021 release gives "The total expected investment of $17 billion, including buildings, property improvements, machinery and equipment", and its CHIPS Act fact sheet of December 2024 says Samsung "plans to invest at least $17 billion in the build-out of the Taylor site". The same fact sheet gives "more than $37 billion" and the Department of Commerce's award page "over $37 billion dollars" for the region, which covers Taylor and an expansion of Samsung's Austin facility. The row previously held $44bn, which no Samsung or Commerce page read for this record states.
