During her February visit, Secretary Raimondo stopped at ACC’s IMPACT Lab–– the college’s manufacturing incubator–– and hosted a roundtable discussion focused on the CHIPS for America Act. ACC faculty, students, business partners, and local lawmakers, including Austin Mayor Kirk Watson, joined the discussion.
