After a generation of decline, Central New York is poised for massive growth. 

The scale of Micron’s investment as a proportion of Central New York’s economy is nearly five times larger than any other large industrial development in the U.S. This investment will likely return the population of Syracuse to its 1970s levels at a growth rate not seen since the 1950s.

Micron’s investment will bring tens of thousands of good paying, accessible jobs for New Yorkers.

When complete Micron will employ 9,000 people directly on site – which will support over 40,000 new permanent jobs. New York State and Micron are making ambitious investments to empower Central New Yorkers with the skills they need to take on good paying jobs in the semiconductor industry.

Micron’s investment comes with game changing commitments to Central New York communities and the environment.

Micron, in partnership with Empire State Development, will establish the $500 million Green CHIPS Community Fund to ensure that all Central New Yorkers benefit from the company’s investment. Micron will also implement a Green CHIPS Sustainability Plan designed to mitigate its greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impact, including utilizing 100% renewable energy, attaining LEED Gold status, and committing to greenhouse gas emission targets and reporting.

New York is winning the global competition for chip industry investment and delivering for New Yorkers

Semiconductors are the building blocks of the 21st century global economy and competition for industry investment is fierce. New York's performance-based Green CHIPS incentives, the most ambitious in the nation, have positioned New York to win this competition and deliver unparalleled returns for New Yorkers.
