Corning Is Growing Solar Manufacturing In Richland Township

To grow this domestic supply, Corning, on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary, Solar Technology, LLC, plans to build a new manufacturing facility in Richland Township in Saginaw County with an investment of up to $900 million. The project is expected to create over 1,100 jobs, with starting wages expected to exceed the median wage for the region. Additionally, employees will receive a comprehensive benefits package.

Corning Incorporated has chosen Michigan for a new manufacturing facility dedicated to the creation of U.S.-made solar components with support from the Michigan Strategic Fund. This investment will help meet a sharp rise in demand for solar power that the current domestic solar supply chain cannot meet while creating good-paying jobs that put Michigan on track to achieve a greener, more sustainable future.
