While TSMC has started risk production of its 3nm process node (N3), the world's largest independent foundry will start mass production at this node sometime next year. And then it will be on to 2nm. According to WFFCtech, TSMC plans on building a second 2nm fabrication facility on a golf course next to Zhonke Park in Taichung.

As you might imagine, building production facilities for a cutting-edge fab not only costs money, it also takes space. The mayor of Taichung, Shiow-Yen Lu, says that if ground is broken in his city to build a 2nm fab, the cost of the project will be one trillion Taiwan Dollars ($36.2 billion USD). But city officials are concerned about the environmental impact of building a factory in Taichung despite all of the jobs and money that will be flowing into that area.
