Infinera’s award will be used to support the construction of a new fab in San Jose, California, and a packaging facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

The projects will create around 500 manufacturing jobs and 1,200 construction jobs. Once certain milestones are completed, project funds will be available.
