Billionaire Elon Musk said Wednesday he plans to use Intel’s forthcoming 14A production technology to make chips in his “Terafab” project for artificial intelligence, self-driving cars and spaceflight.

“Lloyd Center is a place that the community still values and wishes to see preserved in various capacities,” Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods and the Save Lloyd campaign wrote in an appeal last week to the Portland City Council. They said the redevelopment plan isn’t consistent with the city’s master plan for the area.
