The Kansas Semiconductor Manufacturing Consortium (KSMC) is an emerging rural regional semiconductor manufacturing cluster recently formed as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between local government, higher education, and semiconductor component manufacturing partners. The formation of this entity creates the co-location of like-minded partners in a contiguous geographic area providing component manufacturing facilities, suppliers, and workforce development programs that share critical infrastructure, like equipment, space, and talent in ways that maximize efficiency.
Our plant cluster in Coffey County, Kansas is centrally located, making it convenient employment for those with families.

Coffey County, Kansas is uniquely positioned in two distinctive ways. First, due to prudent fiscal policy and management by the Coffey County Commissioners, the county is uniquely able to provide capital inducements to covered entities by delivering ample development acreage and infrastructure construction that is critical to locating a campus within its jurisdictional boundaries. Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant generated capital allows Coffey County to make and sustain long-term capital investments of this type without having to resort to bond or other capital formation methods.
Equally important to this venture is the existence of nearly limitless opportunity for contiguous expansion, should future conditions dictate that need. Second, Coffey County is geographically positioned to offer a rare combination of locally existing semiconductor manufacturing prowess and locally existing proven technical workforce education in a rural, economically disadvantaged community.
Waverly Wind Farm has an installed capacity of 199 megawatts (MW). Waverly's generation is equivalent to the consumption of more than 54,000 Kansas homes.
Community
Waverly Wind Farm yields significant economic benefits to the community in the form of payments to landowners, local spending, and annual community investment.
Waverly represents a capital investment of approximately $338 million and has disbursed approximately $2.6 million in cumulative payments to local governments through 2019. The project created 237 full-time equivalent jobs during construction as well as 19 permanent jobs. Through 2019, approximately $9 million has been spent within 50 miles of the wind farm.
Environment
Waverly Wind Farm saves more than 353 million gallons of water each year and displaces carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants, a major contributor to climate change. Wind energy also enhances air quality by helping to mitigate the health effects of harmful air pollutants.
Landowners
Waverly Wind Farm is compatible with other land uses and provides a stable form of income to local landowners. More than $3.5 million has been paid to the wind farm’s landowners through 2019. These supportive landowners participate in long-term lease and easement agreements that cover turbines, access roads, and transmission corridors.
