COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—Intel Corp. has told most of the remaining 110 workers at its Colorado Springs plant that they’ll be laid off by early May, when the company expects to complete the facility’s shutdown.
The semiconductor manufacturing giant put the 1,000-employee plant on the market more than two years ago, saying it would close the facility if no buyer was found.
The California-based company laid off all but 250 of the plant’s workers after halting production in December 2007; another 140 employees have either left Intel or been laid off since then as the company moved, sold or stored its manufacturing equipment.
The plant produced chips for Marvell Technology Group Ltd., which bought Intel’s specialty-chip business in 2007 and planned to move production to Taiwan.
