Acreage once slated for a massive semiconductor plant in North Fort Worth now is being eyed by developers planning a $750 million, “winter megaplex” similar to an existing theme park in the United Arab Emirates.
Intel Corp. bought the 527-acre site, located at the intersection of Eagle Parkway and Interstate 35W, nine years ago, aiming to put up a $1.3 billion semiconductor plant. It scrapped those plans in 2000.
Now Charlie Aaron, president of The Colony-based Bearfire Group LLC, says his development team is considering the Intel site, as well as a couple of others in North Texas, for the winter-sports theme project.
