I am very very confused.

GlobalFoundaries just sold their chip fab in Fishkill NY in Feb 2023 source

Why are they now building a new chip fab in NY again?

I think that's just an old IBM plant they inherited. They're actually head quartered out of Malta, NY and had their flagship foundry there, but I think dresden is currently their most advanced plant. It goes back and forth with node advancements

Probably to produce new nodes. You can't just reuse old equipment.
