Lam Research SIP agreement

Greater Portland Inc. strongly supported the SIP, framing it as key to Oregon's semiconductor cluster and competitiveness.

Mortensen, Lam's construction partner, backed the deal, citing ~900-1,000 annual construction jobs and apprenticeship opportunities.

Silicon Forest Partnership urged support, saying TUX strengthens Oregon's semiconductor ecosystem.

Westside Economic Alliance supported the deal, emphasizing jobs and economic development at a time when Oregon is losing businesses.

Washington County Chamber VP praised city and county staff and supported the project for jobs and school-to-career pathways.

Tualatin Chamber president supported the deal, noting construction spending flows to local businesses like Moschitas and A-1 Coupling.

A 41-year resident and business owner called the project a 'feather in the cap' for Tualatin.

Save Tualatin Road (tag-teaming with Sue Pelletier and Danny O'Neill) asked the council to pause the vote, citing secret negotiations, undisclosed total abatement value, unenforceable 'good neighbor' promises, and unlivable 24/7 HVAC noise.

A neighbor across from the campus said Lam was a good neighbor until three years ago, complained of noise rattling her windows, and questioned subsidizing a company that already received $20 million in Oregon CHIPS funds.

Cited Lam's $18.4 billion revenue, CEO's $28 million pay package, and the late public disclosure of the SIP, urging a no vote or pause until noise is addressed.
