SK hynix Project Transparency & Tracking Commitment

 

Posted 5/23/2025

Community interest in the SK hynix development is high, and the City of West Lafayette remains committed to ensuring residents have clear, accessible pathways to information and engagement throughout the life of this project.

In the coming month, this site will be updated to feature a centralized, detailed tracking system encompassing both City-led infrastructure initiatives and SK hynix-specific development activity. This resource will include:

  • City infrastructure projects accelerated due to anticipated population and economic growth. These projects were already identified in long-term planning but are now being expedited to meet the scale and timing of development associated with SK hynix.
  • Public meeting schedules and opportunities for public input.
  • SK hynix construction and regulatory milestones, including major planning benchmarks, permit applications and approvals, and other formal reviews.

Our goal is to provide a clear, step-by-step view of the SK hynix process—what needs to happen, when it will occur, and how residents can engage at each stage.

WLMoves.com will be updated regularly as new information becomes available. We appreciate your patience as we build a transparent and reliable tool to help the public stay informed with clarity and confidence.

SK hynix Project Neuron Site Activities 

What’s Happening

As part of its comprehensive environmental process, SK hynix will be conducting two surveys at our new site over the next few weeks. These activities are required by federal, state, and local regulations to ensure we protect both historical and environmental resources.

Historical and Archaeological Survey

Why we’re doing this: We need to check for any historical artifacts or archaeological sites before construction begins, following Indiana state guidelines for historic preservation.

What you might see:

Field Preparation

  • The field will be tilled to make the ground surface easier to examine. This work may begin this week, weather permitting.

Site Investigation

  • Survey teams will walk across the property in a grid pattern to look for any artifacts on the surface
  • If any artifacts are found, additional testing may be needed

Environmental and Wildlife Survey

At the same time, we’ll also be:

  • Conducting desktop research on local wildlife and plant species
  • Checking for any threatened or endangered species in the area
  • Assessing any wetlands and natural habitats present to ensure they’re protected

What This Means for You

These surveys are standard environmental protection measures that help SK hynix build responsibly while preserving West Lafayette’s history and natural resources. These activities will be contained to the site and should have minimal to no impact on the community.

Cherry Lane will be realigned to accommodate Purdue University’s new Pete Dye Clubhouse. With this project, the area will also be enhanced with a new roundabout, multi-use trail, more lighting, and new stormwater infrastructure. Lane restrictions will begin in Spring 2023 between Northwestern Avenue and McCormick Road with the project expected to wrap up by September 2023.

West Lafayette is wrapping up a major project that started in 2016 to keep the Wabash River cleaner and healthier. This final phase of the Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO) project will expand our water treatment system to handle more wet weather, preventing overflows of untreated water into the river during heavy rain.

Lindberg Road between Northwestern Avenue and Salisbury Street is being reconstructed to include stormwater improvements, a new multi-use trail, and new sidewalks. Construction is slated to begin spring 2023 and will be completed December 2023.

With West Lafayette's population booming over the past decade, city officials are exploring a transformative upgrade to public safety services. A feasibility study is underway to consolidate Fire Station #2 and fire administration into a modern, centralized campus along West Navajo Street, next to the police station. This proposed move addresses the outdated condition of the current Fire Station #2 and the growing needs of both fire and police services, aiming to enhance safety and efficiency for the community.

The Salisbury Street/Grant Street Redevelopment Project aims to connect our trail systems from north to south, improving access and safety for multimodal travelers. The project's second phase, which includes Grant Street reconstruction, will begin in March 2023.

As part of the 2050 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, the Soldiers Home Road Reconstruction project seeks to address continuing community growth in the northern areas of West Lafayette. This project will include road reconstruction, a new multi-use trail, and new sidewalks. The multi-use trail will connect the Nighthawk, Sagamore Parkway, and Happy Hollow Trails to the Northwest Greenway Trail.

Yeager Road between Sagamore Parkway and Cumberland Avenue is being reconstructed to include stormwater improvements, a new trail, and new sidewalks. Currently, northbound and southbound lanes are open and will remain open during the winter months. Construction will resume in March 2023 and is expected to wrap up by Summer 2023.
