In short:

Firmus Technologies is building an "AI factory" in Launceston, and plans for two more factories in Tasmania have come to light.

The company is looking to build facilities at Bell Bay in the state's north and Wesley Vale in the north-west.

What's next?

Firmus has submitted a development application for the Wesley Vale site and one for the former pulp mill location at Bell Bay.
