Two filings listed the expansion of investment zone as an agenda item for a city council meeting set for July 14. 

The new land area totals 176.76 acres (71.5 hectares), the documents said, an equivalent to 13.9 percent of the existing 1,268-acre site.

The company's plan to expand the size of the project site comes at a tricky time for chip manufacturers.  
 
With weaker demand and a delay in the allocating of funds for the CHIPS Act in the United States, TSMC and Intel are postponing the building of their facilities in the country or delaying construction.
 
Intel said that its $20 billion project in Ohio is being put on hold because Congress has dragged its feet on funding, while a TSMC board member warned of delay.

"The addition of the land appears to be based on more long-term perspectives," said Jeong In-seong, a semiconductor specialist who authored "The Future of the Semiconductor Empire."

"As the pace of construction in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi, shows, Samsung has shown a very flexible approach in adjusting production after it acquired a massive plot of land," Jeong said, projecting that the Taylor plants will produce chips marketed 5 nanometers or smaller.  
 
Samsung Electronics started production of 3-nanometer chips last month in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi.
