Samsung eyes more expansion in Taylor

[TexasTowelie]

Last year, the county was rocked by the announcement of Samsung building a $17 billion semiconductor plant in Taylor.

Now the Korean tech company is considering bringing an additional nine plants to the Taylor area, yet again generating excitement with a potentially record-setting $184 billion investment.

{Williamson} County Judge Bill Gravell said, as someone who grew up in Round Rock, the thought of an investment that large into the county is staggering.

“We’re now reaching an altitude of figures almost unimaginable,” he said, stating that he had heard an estimate of the Samsung build out in the Taylor-Hutto area totaling potentially half a trillion dollars when all is finished.

“I think it will be the largest [group of] semiconductor manufacturing plants in the world, right here where we grew up,” he said during an interview with the Sun last Friday. “To think of [this] region getting up to half a trillion dollars … You just go, ‘wow.’ ” half a trillion dollars … You just go, ‘wow.’ ”

1. Horrible kitchen products & their warranties are worthless.

We went to an all Samsung kitchen when we remodeled and man oh man was that a mistake. We immediately started having problems with the refrig. It took so many calls to finally get someone out and then he didn't have the part. It took MONTHS for the part to come in (this was pre-pandemic and supply issues) and then it was the wrong part. After 3 years of trying to get this fixed and dealing with a constanty leaking refrig, we gave up and trashed it and got a new one. We also had major issues with the electronics on the stove and microwave, went out at under a year, Again, many issues and lots of time with many calls and wrong parts and never fixed right.

New rule in our household, never buy anything Samsung - the good deals are fake!
