Delayed Suppliers (Early 2024)
Five suppliers halted or delayed construction due to TSMC/Intel timeline changes and labor cost issues: LCY Chemical, Solvay, Chang Chun Group, KPPC, and Topco Scientific. This demonstrates supplier vulnerability to anchor project delays.

Key Insights
Clustering Effect Validated
$165B TSMC investment generated $37B+ in supplier investment. The "big brings medium, medium brings small" hypothesis is confirmed.
Anchor Dependency Risk
When Intel pushed to 2030-2031, entire Ohio ecosystem timeline extended. Five Arizona chemical suppliers halted construction in early 2024.
Speed Matters
Magna anchored Ford's supplier park within months of anchor announcement. First-mover suppliers often capture the best locations and workforce.
